  • A LARGE MODEL SHOWMAN'S ENGINE - PART #1. This series shows details about a 4 1/2 inch scale "Plastow Burrell" Traction Engine which was built as a Showman's Engine. It ticks all the boxes for my requirements, as it is a simple engine (not a compound), It has a Copper Boiler with a current new boiler certificate and it is licensed for road use. The engine also has a large trailer for passengers and an extra water supply................................................... / keithappleton

    Videos like yours remind me how lucky I am to have grown up and still live close to one of the largest agriculture museums in Canada with lots of full size working steam tractors.

    Ever since I saw a small replica steam tractor running around at a steam convention I've loved them. They are just as complicated and beautiful as the full size tractors. My dad and I would take our hit-and-miss engine to the convention to show off, it was my great-grand-fathers and it was used to power a blower in his workshop (he was a black smith) plus a washing machine. My mom remembered helping to load it and then standing back away from the belt when it got going. People used to get a big kick out it, it looked so silly compared to a modern washing machine. Following my dads' death we donated it to the Steam Society and they maintain it in running order. Seeing this model brings back fond memories! The convention has been cancelled this year, much to everyones' disappointment, but will be back next year.

    When you were making space in your workshop for something, that was not what I imagined. I automatically thought of a lathe but it wouldn't be logical to block the doors so gave up trying to work out what you were getting.
    That's a very large model indeed, I should think you'll need to rearrange your workshop quite a bit to be able to work on it.
    Looks like a lot of fun though !

    Bonjour Keith,
    I fully agree with you, this Showman's engine is absolutely beautiful, and even if it is not comfortable, I would be happy to drive it :+)
    Besides this, would mounting the chimney improve the draft?

    • @keithappleton
      @keithappleton  4 года назад

      The long chimney extension is for stationary running only and it improves the draught slightly.
