D. & J. Tulis of Kilbowie, Scotland were well known for supplying laundries. It is not impossible that this engine was bought from another maker/ In any case, I am sure it came to Burma second hand. We found it at work in a remote part of Irrawaddy Division in 2006:

This engine came from John MacDowall, Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland. We saw it in Irrawaddy Division in 200. It was not clear whether the protracted repair was being made with a view to re-use or sale:

A. Siddall Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire, England is hardly a household name among stationary steam enthusiasts. This engine was found working in a very gloomy mill in Bago Division in 2006:

Sharples & Co, Ramsbottom, Lancashire are  represented by a single engine which again almost certainly came to Burma secondhand:

We have seen two engines from the Oil Well Supply Company of Pittsburgh, USA, one was derelict but the other was working in Bago Division in 2006:

This engine carries the name of Howarth Erskie, Singapore. Since these were 'boiler makers and engineers' and the predecessors of today' United Engineers, they probably actually made this engine found in store for possible resale in Yangon's industrial zone in 2006:

Burn & Co, Howrah, India may indeed have made this distinctive 'girder engine. It was stored in good condition in Mon State in 2007
