Thanks for the lesson. Some more stuff that I could perhaps use in the future. I know that we Keep saying it but it is good to see just how these things are made.
If ever you get bored you can knock up a traction engine for me......I think that this model is reminisant of a steam tractor...and I love all things steam. choo choo!
We must be on the same wavelength, just been researching WW1 steam vehicles, steam wagon and traction engine.
As I am having trouble finding data on steam lorries, I have already started the wheels on a traction engine.
Just to wet your appetite here is the engine and the wheels.
It will be a Clayton and Shuttleworth General purpose engine. They were used to pull artillery pieces and general load haulage as well as for agriculture behind the trenches and at home.
