Anyone into 19th century steam engines

Saw these two listings in a local auction brochure that came today.

All I know about them as I love watching them run. Also, if you want to run one you need a steam engineer license from your state. There's a steam engine museum in Mabel, MN if you ever pass that way. They loaned us an engineer and an engine to run a threshing machine last summer, it was good fun.
 
You might want to post this over on Smokstak.com. There's a bunch of dedicated steam guys over there.
