Hello all,
   I found my first Toy steam engine in an Antique shop close to were I live.
It's a Weeden 14, that seems to be in good condition and came with it's burner and a little funnel.
   The throttle valve was frozen, site glass broken & handle for the whistle was missing....  which I have since fixed.

    I must admit I'm looking forward to buying another vintage steam engine.
