In con-junction with looking for a roller to buy, I have noticed that USA built engines are also in my price range.
I have played on several of these including my neighbours and I like them enough to concider buying one. Especially the CASE engines, anything concidered...... If anyone knows of one availible please feel free to let me know. shaunrobins@hotmail.co.uk 07707 645 963 Regards Shaun |

American engines
Hi Shaun
I have a Canadian built George White traction engine built in 1924 no 1470 of 1500 produced by George White a Devon man who emigrated to Canada in the 1770s and set up buisness in London Ontario.My engine is unusual in that it is 2 speed gearing and capable of 6 to 7 miles per hour.All the boiler work is done,new smokebox,new chimney,ashpan,boiler tubes,tenders,all new pipework,two new penberthy injectors.There is approx 7 years left on hydraulic ticket and it is working at original boiler pressure.It is particularly good on the belt as most american engines were.Not a huge hulk at 7 tons empty and approx 8.5 full of water.Needs some bushes replaced and lagging to finish but can go to rally now as i have.Living in Australia at present so the engine is in the shed doing nothing and i am lucky to have other engines so its available for sale and stored at home in Ireland.Send me a pm if interested and i can send pics.Tom |
