• 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
