Excellent pictures Mirko! I think they will be a very useful reference for future restorers.

Mirko, your collection is frankly even better than that of John O'Rear whom I considered to have the best Nuremburg engine group in the world...til now! I have only one such engine and I think I need to change that!!!

Thanks for sharing.
Rog

Wow

That was certainly worth waiting for that page to open

Besides so many great engines, your presentation is awesome.
Posing with the little men really adds life to the photos.

Had to go back and look at them once more

Forgot to post this engine.
It is my smallest and i gave it to my girlfriend, because she likes it very much.
So this one is at her house.

As you can see, it is quite small.
The engine is made very very well, so i doubt this is homemade.
But i can't say exactly who made it, it is similar to the one fron LS Loc Basel

Wow, what an absolutely fantastic collection! Your presentation is wonderful!

I am really interested in the Wilesco fire engine. Do you ever fire it? if so, would it be possible to see a video?

Thank you so much for sharing today (as always)!

Cheers

Fantastic Mirko! You have some amazing engines. I have to say that for me i love the mini engine that you showed at the end

I see that it has an "accessory" at the side. What does that do?
