My 4" Scale Ruston & Proctor Traction Engine I have now sold this traction engine This is the first time it has been seen on its wheels 27th April 2000

June 27th 2000 Photos of the engine in motion, using compressed air. Using air and plenty of oil to run in the motion work.


With its back wheels off the ground, it is a chance to bed in all the gears removing the high spots. The pressure required to keep it turning is only 15 lb/ 1.0Bar.


Early July 2000

p.s. Not a lot has been done since 2000, one day I will start again to finish it !
