Thanks for that. Hopefully I'll stumble across it in the future.

Hi, does anyone have any details past or present of Garrett Engine 33505.

It was on puzzles, calanders, birthday cards etc

R.T. Sanders & Sons 1960 - 1977

any photos available? (it was at Evesham, Warwickshire & Worcestershire area steam rallys during 1970's).

Now in Holland?

The engine is still in the UK and is in the Yorkshire area.

Sorry I can't help anymore.

Hi
photo alabums listed under J Scott
You will see my NZ Engine did have a few more but have
since replaced these with the Swiss rally I went to.

Hi Simon,
I have a 2" D&NY engine. I also have the model engineer instructions for its build + some 1890 Engineer pics [engraving ] of the engine, and also a reference to John Haining's Road locomotive Society address where he gives some interesting information about the firm [based in Ripon]. Can I be of any help? I know this is a late reply to your request last year but I have only just joined the forum.

I have one for my Durham & North Yorkshire engine at 2" scale. I could measure it up or send a photo if you wish.

I am trying to find out how wrought iron 'behaved' as a boiler material in the early days of traction engines [1860-1870s-1880s ]. There is little helpful material that I have found. I am trying to make a possible link between Aveling's argument for the need of his hornplate invention in 1870 [stress and strains caused by older methods of supporting the crank and second shaft] and the use of wrought iron for the boiler plates. I need to know more about wrought iron and its properties to find out if my suspicions are correct.
Can anyone please help me or provide some direction to search?

Does anyone have any photos of traction engines in New Zealand to show on here??

As i would like to see them

Hello there

Thanks Rich Hudson
