The list continues to grow. Since this list was posted some months ago no fewer than five old Silsby engines have re-appeared from basements, barns, and dusty corners in fire stations. Some are in excellent condition and others are incomplete, but they still exist, and there is hope for them. Many other owners of fine old engines are considering restoration in one form or another. If you know of a verifiable engine not on our list please let us know.

The following Silsby engines are known or thought to be existing today. We are certain that there are some additions that should be made to the list and there may well be some deletions. Most are not operable today. Those that are known to be are indicated to be. Please send corrections to the list to srpratt@verizon.net A new feature of this list is the addition of E-mail links to a representative of the owner of some engines a link in the owner column will take you to their e-mail. Check out has added the latest survivors to the list.
