The problem with Pictures Nick is that various pieces of Machinery are often buried until required, as noted in a Post above.
However, here goes:-
This is a Picture of what I think of as the RHS of the Garage, photographed from the other end.
Nearest is an ancient Denbigh Mill. It was originally Horizontal but all that is long gone. However, someone helpfully added a Vertical Head.
Next is my Big Denbigh Drill. That has 8 Speeds including the Back Gear, Course Feed, Fine Feeds and Auo Feed. It's MT3 with a 2.5hp Motor.
Next is a 5" 'Double V Bed' Drummond Lathe - http://www.lathes.co.uk/drummond5inchphotoessay/ Mine is later than that. The Spindle is a shambles 'cause someone has 'modified it'. I'm pondering on what's the best way forward.
Finally there's my Colchester Chipmaster - http://www.lathes.co.uk/chipmaster/ I converted that to Single Phase by rewiring the Motor to Delta and adding a home-brewed Contactor, Time Delay and Capacitors to start it up. As it has a 3hp Motor it's connected to a 16A Type C Breaker as is the Big Denbigh Drill. It blows 13A Fuses and Trips the usual Type B Breaker.
On the other side, starting at the Door is a Denbigh Donkey Saw. I wouldn't be without that. The biggest thing I've cut so far is a chunk of 6" RSJ
It could do with a bit of refurbishment due to slop in various Bearings but it's OK.
After that is my little Denbigh Horizontal Mill. Some miserable Butcher has damaged some of the T-slots but not beyond redemption. This was before I put the Drive back together.
Finally on that side is my little Shaper. This is the ebay Picture as I've never bothered photgraphing it again.
Stashed at the back is a small Timbrell & Wright Capstan which Tony Griffiths persuaded me to rescue. All I've done is make sure it's mostly there and added a Handle. I'll get to it one of these days.
I'd better stop there and continue in another Post.
