I attended a Steam threshers show North of the Itasca State Park In MN and
saw a full size Corliss engine running. The Miniature in your photos (IMG
0438 Corliss Engine) is similar to the real one at the show.

photos on the website. It is pretty awesome standing next to a 20' flywheel.
They did a light show with it by tying glow sticks to most of the moving
parts and starting the engine at 10:00 in the evening. They are working on
one humongous band saw the Corliss will power.
