PM Research - PM Research was incorporated in 1973 in
Arkport, NY, by Gary Bastian and Paul Vossler. Their first
product was a line of portable gasoline engine driven
permanent magnet generators. In 1978 they moved to
Wellsville, NY which is located in Allegany County and is
the least populated county in the state. They later began
fabrication and vacuum forming of plastic parts. In 1985
they expanded their building and decided they would like to
give their children the opportunity to learn to run some of
the shop equipment. This led them to design and make
castings for a small model steam engine. Their original #1A
aluminum engine was a replica of an 1880's steam drilling
engine. This same engine is now offered as #1BI with bronze
and cast iron castings. They made up some kits and headed to
a local steam show, where they quickly sold out of
everything they had taken. They decided to continue
expanding this line with more model steam engines, boilers,
and accessories. In 1993 they introduced the EL-1, engine
lathe kit. This was the beginning of their line of model
machine shop tools which has grown to include an arbor
press, bench grinder, crank shaper, drill press, milling
machine, table saw and wood lathe. In 1995 they purchased
Solar Engines from Ed and Jeanette Morgan of Phoenix, AZ;
and in 1996 they began production and marketing of the
Solar-4 sun runner and other Stirling cycle engines. In 2006
they introduced the DYN-1 dynamo kit, Model 8M twin cylinder
oscillating marine engine, and a line of model tapered pipe
fittings. They currently have over 30 models and are
continuing to develop new products. Even though we know them
best for their engine product line, they are also well known
in the aviation industry through their line of radome boots
and leading edge erosion protection tapes.

Wilesco - Wilesco live steam engines though
traditional toys from yesteryear, are today more popular
than ever before. All of the Wilesco steam engines
demonstrate clearly the basic change of energy in one form
to that of another. The toy steam engine converts heat into
mechanical energy via water. This process was used on large
scale in the early 19th century to produce power. Wilesco
steam engines cater to this ageless interest in
demonstrating the basic principles of changing heat into
mechanical power. The Wilesco company was founded in 1912 by
Mr. Wilhelm Schröder and Mr. Ernst Wortmann. Right at the
beginning the company manufactured aluminum cutlery and
carving sets. Wilesco started manufacturing stationary steam
engines and accessories in 1950. As many customers were
already buying the household toys, the steam engines
succeeded very quickly in gaining their own market share.
The Company added the famous steam roller "Old-Smoky" to
this range in 1966. With this particular technical
development, They succeeded in entering further into the toy
and hobby market. Today the steam engine production accounts
for about 50% of their sales. The Wilesco fire truck D305
(fire engines) is one of the most popular traction engines.
The Company supplies their stationary steam engines and
traction steam engines like the famous fire engines all over
the globe, especially the toy and hobby range. Today Wilesco
is the world's largest manufacturer of toy steam engines.
