Awesome floor plan + collection, TOM!
Got to pay a visit someday. Pictures do not do them justice!
P.S. I hope it becomes a "Museum" someday ...

Imagine the stories each of those pumps could tell if they could talk. That has to be one of the nicest collection of pumps I have seen . I remember seeing sometime ago when he started on that building before it had the collection in it . Great job on everything !

Now that is very very cool. Great to see these saved and preserved to enjoy forever. I don't think I could keep it that clean though, but I would try! Thanks for sharing.

Tom, your collection is awesome. Looks like they are all restored. When I was at your house several years ago there were a lot of them not restored. Here is Tom`s shop being built.

Tom,
I am very impressed with your collection! Thanks for sharing! My collection of pumps is just the opposite all in the unrestored rough state. Nice restoration work! Would love to visit sometime.
