These Fairbanks Morse desk models of their Model
37 Diesel engine would date from the late 1930s into the 1940s.
Two materials seem to have been used for their construction, the
two engines in the foreground are pewter and have a polished look,
the engine and base in the background is a heavier metal and appears
to be galvanized with a zinc plating. The desk pad has grooves
in each side for pens or pencils, and a paperclip container. The
engine itself is easily removable for separate display.

These Cummins K2000E engine models in 1:18 scale
from Zycon Models are some of the most beautiful scale models
of diesel engines produced to date. They are made up of dozens
of precision lost wax brass castings, assembled much like a real
engine, and meticulously painted. The listing page on the Zycon
Models website is:

This Cummins KTA50-G1 engine is
constructed of Pewter on a plastic base, and is probably a builders
promotional item. Despite being a small model it is very highly
detailed. Approximate scale would be 1:50.
