Help With Steam Traction Engines
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, Graham Wright Australia |

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. D |

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..................... Traction Engine and Farm Machines |

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 PaperModels.net |

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).
