"Kitchener" Traction Engine - The driver's view
Image: © Rob Farrow Taken: 25 Jul 2015
A view from inside the cab of the superbly restored traction engine "Kitchener" looking along the con-rods of this mighty piece of steam engineering dating from 1902 and restored by its current owners about 100 years later. As can be seen, the view from the driving position is decidedly limited and on the roads it really requires two people to operate. See Image] for a view of the whole engine.
