I think the answer is still being debated.

I hope to steam my Ruston SD tractor for the first time ever. If I can get finished in time, else new near steam up.

It's a pity we are so far apart...could have a Little & Large Steam up !. :D

Merry Christmas.

The Portable looks well alive there thumbsup I can remember the first time I saw one of those...I was about 5 or 6 years old when my grandfather took me to the colliery where he was surface manager at the time and I saw my very first two full size steam engines plus the portable which I was later told it had been there to belt drive a generator to provide power for bringing the miners back to surface during wartime blackouts and also on site lighting and if I also remember rightly one of the full size engines was a Ploughing engine which was also used for bringing miners back up to the surface in emergency. I have never seen anything of this mentioned during my time on TT and was wondering if anyone else recalls engines being used for these purposes !.

Cheers
