Ransomes, Simms & Jefferies Compound Traction Engine
Built 1927. Works No. 39070. 4nhp. Reg. No. IJ 5347. Built in 1927 and exhibited at the 1928 Royal Dublin Spring Show and was for sale at £300. Nothing is known about the engine from then until it was purchased in the 1940’s by William Manley of Baltingglass, Co. Wicklow, who was the last working owner.
It was purchased in 1998 for major restoration by the present owners, the Huey family of Browndod, Larne. Most of the work has been done in our own workshop and has only been possible with the help of many good friends.
