Carette traction engine 692/3P
« on: May 27, 2021, 08:10:46 am »
Here's the first running of a 1910 Carette traction engine after refurbishing. I would love to run it on the floor but may have to rent out a small gym.

Thank you for sharing the video Brent.

It was really a treat to see this rare beauty chugging away on Steam.

Beautiful and rare and a good runner - I like the chain rattling like on an old
Indian Motorcycle...

Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!

Thanks everyone. Still hoping to make that 'running on the floor' video when I can find the space for it.
