I have had this little traction engine for a few years now and still don't know where or who made it. It is 10" long 5 1/2" to top of stack and 4" wide. Very well built runs very smooth. If you can help me with info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Randy

Don't know who made it but the style is definitely British.

Thanks guys. Yes I agree it looks British to me to. I don't know if it was freelance built or not. Who ever did build it took a lot of time with it. It is very nicely machined and runs smooth and quiet on about 2 psi of air. Has 2 speed gearing, slip eccentric for reverse and a alcohol burner for heating.

Looks like a homebuilt engine, good to hear it runs well... would love to see a video of it
