Am I correct, in the third photo from the end, both of these models are 3" scale? The 7 NHP Fowler is much bigger than the Plastow Burrell - did someone mismeasure a full size Burrell many years ago? Even if it was a model of a 5 NHP traction engine it still looks too small. Does anyone know the story behind why it is a bit on the small side?

They both look good though and I would be happy to have either in my shed.

Michael, they are both 3" scale (from observation). If you stick a 3" Mac next to these, then they both look small. My Fowler is diminutive compared to Suctionhose' 3" mac, and it always surprises me how small the 3" Burrell is (there is one in my club and another under construction).

Would give my right arm for that Aveling traction with the overhead valves, cracking looking machine.
