Sorry Keith and Trystan

I can offer no information on the under restoration engine, someone said it was possibly a Ransomes. I had a good look over it every where including wheel hubs and no lettering/numbers anywhere. the only words was some foreign writing which looked like how to fill the boiler.

I have asked via the Bressingham Facebook page for information, if I get a reply I will post it on here.

Sorry lads that I cannot be of more help.

Arthur

That's the one, I believe it is the only 5nhp traction to survive? Owned and being restored by John Riley.

It's only a three shaft by the looks of it.
