What's the most common engine?As Manxman requested, please vote which of these engines you have. If you have more than one of each or more, for an example lets say you have two TE1/a's and one MM1, you'd vote TE1/a.
If you have one Jensen 75, one TE1/a and one MM1, just vote for your faviroute!
You get the gist of it right ......? If not just ask. Happy voting!

Why did you include the M185? They're not exactly thick on the ground!
Edit: (I assume you meant M175?, or M180?)

i'd say the Jensen 60/76 are very common! Way more common than the Jensen #75 even.

I guess I was just wondering how many of us own a Mamod Traction Engine of one sort or another. I'd think nearly everyone. It's hard to think of another engine that could come close. I'd guess a Wilesco would have to be in the thinking somewhere.

I would actually say that the MM2 is the most common becuase that is the engine I definately see the most at shows and in peoples collections, I think I've got 5 at the mo.

Hmmm. Yes.
I also would have thought the MM2 most popular, with the public at large.
"Da~ad, I want a steam engine"!
And that`s what Junior gets! The cheapest/ simplest.
I`ve got 2 and I`m not a collector.
Also got a common Jensen 60, but no vote for that!

Don't think you have really cocked it up. Just think it is an impossible task for this voting method. Biggest flaw is if you have two of the listed engines as you can only vote once.
Only way to really get to the bottom of it would be for everyone on the forum to list their engines and for someone to put it all into some form of database. Then we would know who had what, which engine was most common amongst us, which is the most rare etc.
Bit of a job though.
