What's unusual about these?

Just returned from a small steam rally up the road at Ingbirchworth. Quite a few interesting things on display if you're into that sort of thing, but I found these two models particularly fascinating...





Would anyone like to guess what's special about them? (Clues will be provided if nobody gets close! )

Re: What's unusual about these?

No, but you're on sort-of the right track in that they're not made of brass and steel.

Re: What's unusual about these?

No - Dan asked if they were edible. You'd break your teeth.
