Chris (R.C.) Hodrien provided me with another picture of original Steam engine at the Osnabrück Museum.
My original quest was done, I hade had found pictures and two full size steam engine of a very similar design to the Sanderson Model, one picture from the Wadsworth, Springfield Mental Hospital and the engine at the Museum Industriekultur Osnabrück.
But I now had a new quest, how is it that the same steam engine design exists in two countries with no know connection?

The Museum Industriekultur Osnabrück has possibly the only existing full size engine of this type.

Surprisingly I ran across a similar model in Germany build by Eckartkercher. Eckartkercher referred me to the German model designer, Lothar Matrian.
Lothar Matrian Model was designed after a full size engine which is at the Museum Industriekultur Osnabrück.

I had contacted quite a few British Museums and several passed my request on.
John McGoldrick (via a friend George )had seen a similar steam engine in "Stationary Steam Engines of Great Britain" Vol 8 fig 85. p132 Made by F.C. Baker in 1870 This was the first picture of an original full size engine of the same design which was in use at the Wadsworth, Springfield Mental Hospital, F.C. Baker
John McGoldrick suggest I contact Chris Hodrien at the ISSES (International Stationary Engine Society)
Incidentally the Sanderson Co. went bankrupt in 1844.
