The engines in the photos below belong to the father of a fellow on rimfirecentral, and I wonder if you guys can help me identify them? The steam engine was salvaged from a popcorn wagon that was being junked in the 40s, but it doesn't look like a Cretors or other popcorn engines that I've seen. I would guess there were a number of folks making popcorn wagons in the day though.
The hit or miss engine was built from a casting kit some years ago and I wonder if it is still available somewhere.
Any help would be appreciated.

nice engines :)

the gas engine would be a casting kit that was produced by mr paul beriesh back in the late 60's, i believe it is called the little brother.
it is a loose copy of an associated hit and miss gas engine.

if you need help fixing it up i have all the drawings for this engine (if you need them)

hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, I guess finding a set of castings for one is out then. I just thought it was a neat little engine.
Does anyone have any idea what the steam engine is?
 
I just picked up the casing for a the small cast iron engine it is a Breisch, my is only the casting, gears, connecting rod and piston, Chuck, I would love to get a set of the drawing so I know what the crank and other parts might be in size, would very much appreciate it, Lathe Nut
