Thanks for your interest and comment chaps

Taking your comments turn:-

That's yours truely Neil driving my famous engine Gremlin or so my youngest Grandson recons, and yes it does look like a steam beard never spotted that its amazing what a damp atmospher does to the steam, it makes for interesting pictures.

I think I see a Murray's Hypocycloidal at the far end on the lowest shelf in pic 2…

Her's some closer shot of the stationary engines you may spot some of my engines that have been in ME.

Please excuse me if this a silly question: what is happening in the fourth picture? In spite of the empty cup I assume it’s not a fancy coffee machine.

Its an home brew cnc machine that my friend and his son made they are using it to etch name plate for children's bed rooms one is being cut whilst two finish ones are on the table he also uses it to make fancy door numbers.

The machine uses a redundant Mitatoya inspection microscope body so the slides are very good my friend added stepper motors and reciprocating ball screws in the the x,y and z axis and all the electronicy stuff don't ask me what soft ware they use as I have no idea
