Smaller collection of engines than in past years probably down to clashing with Stafold and covid, photos for anyone interested

I like the undertype traction engine, what is it based on?

I'd have a guess on it being an E.B. Wilson.

If your refering to the first photo the owner told me it was a Willis Farmers engine a very early self moving portable dated around 1849

I think an outline drawing for the Willis engine is in Hughes "Traction engines worth modelling".
Barry Johnson built it many years ago from the available drawing. Unique as far as I know.

Talking to the owner he believed it to be 'unique' he said there was one in 1.5" scale

Lovely thing, it looks like Titfield Thunderbolt on wheels!

This is the other model that had recently surfaced.

Barry’s one is still the original and the best though. It’s done so much running and introduced so many people to the fact this engine existed.
