Default Traction Engine Book

Busy rationalising my book/magazine collection.


I have for sale a copy of "Painted Engines" By J.H.Russell published 1965.
Each chapter has a coloured photo of an engine in preservation, 2 pages of a description and history, a list of dimentions and a black & white photo of it in pre-preservation days.
The engines in the book are as follows:-

Burrell No 1127 Lord Burrell
Walker centre engine wks no unknowns
Savage electric light engine No. 537
Fowler Showmans engine No.15116 Bertha
Burrell Showmans No. 3909 Winston Churchill
Foden Tractor No.12852 Early Bird
Allchin No. 2146
Ransomes No. 37087
Robey No. 29330
Fowler No. 14402 Jemima
Ruston-proctor portable No. 175037
Marshall No. 71837
Ruston-proctor No.SH 44836 Tulip Queen
Fowler Showmans No. 14862 Evening Star (also known as Birdlip and Excelsior)
Burrell Showmans No.3489 King George VI
McClaren No.1837 Bluebell

The book ends with a 4 page "Traction-engine operating for the novice owner/driver" and a list of clubs and societies.

The book is 10 inches wide, 7.5 inches high & 0.75 inches thick. In as new condition except for a half inch tear in the dust cover.

Any offers?
