Once of the nicest examples I'd seen back then, it   sold to a gentleman well into his retirement who had always wanted a traction   engine. Its recently come back in from his son who inherited the engine    apparently its been steamed on a handful of occasions, although for much of   the last ten years it has simply been admired as a display piece in the   owners home.\u003co:p\u003e    \u003c\/o:p\u003e   \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003eOther than a few   light steamings, its in the same condition now as it was in 2007  canopy   still to be fitted.

The engine has been stored for many years and appears   never fully to have been finished  there are no dynamos fitted, although   there are a set of castings to case a standard Lucas dynamo and the canopy has   never been fitted with lights.\u003co:p\u003e    \u003c\/o:p\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSilver-soldered copper boiler, working pressure 120psi,   firing either by gas or coal  there are interchangeable grates.
