Pouln Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looking great. I have to ask (forgive my ignorance). What were these engines actually used for in their time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 They were used to power the fairground rides and to generate power for lights and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouln Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Ah ok. They didn’t appear to me as being utilitarian vehicles. This explains why it has this festive appearance. many years back I saw one in Holland. Great machines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybgoode Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Love traction engines. I really need to see some ‘livea’ so to speak. I remember having a working Mamod model when I was young - lovely thing it was. This looks a great kit and a smashing build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
