kingsbury Water Park (EWR)
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. Martin |
