Help With Steam Traction Engines

[Graham]

Hi All,
Has anyone come across card models related to steam traction engines. Have found a stationary engine (detailed & complex), but no traction engines.
Cheers,

Wish I knew too. There are some out there but not often available to purchase.

Personal favourite would be a Fowler steam ploughing set. A showman's engine comes a close second.

Hi D-H, thanks for that, agree with a showman's engine.

I'd like to see some of those myself. Have the old Keil Kraft plastic 1/72 Fowler Z7 Ploughing Engine that I'm tinkering with right now, would love to see one of those in 1/25th.

Showcase Models used to make a very basic one - it is not available anymore.

The only other one I know is the Micromodels one - a nice little kit with agricultural equipment.

Keds Girl did a build of one here.....................

Lou from PMI always had a large scale traction engine.
but since he sold PMI the catalog has not been updated and I dont see the engine (it was usually in the specials section)
maybe try contacting him or his successor

It's not a traction engine, but in case it interests you, there is a German model of a portable steam engine and thresher from HS Design. I'm sorry, I don't know anything about it, but here are a couple images that I happened to have on my hard drive (maybe from the German forum kartonmodell-forum).

Have to say...you chaps are awesome with the seed of your replies. Thanks for the leads. Graham.

Oh, going to have to try and get that one.

This comes from the 2010 convention thread ;
Maybe Rick or Bomarc (who took the picture knows more)
