Title: Another Charles Dearing Steam Engine
Post by: scratcho on March 06, 2014, 01:18:16 pm

Here is another steam engine pattern by Charles Dearing. This one is a British Showman`s engine. They were used to operate carnivals and circuses. There was a large generator on the front to operate lights and the steam engine could operate rides and such from the belt pulley. 1/2 inch birch ply 8 1/2 x 11. Dennis

Nicely done, Dennis, I love these.

I ought to get into the pattern request forum again, I have hundreds of photos of traction engines, being a frequent visitor to steam rallies during summer. :)

Dennis, I was looking at photos of traction engines on Google images and this looked familiar. :) It looks like your traction engine was/is a Lledo die cast model, which were a range of models in the UK called 'Gone Days.' I have a couple of steam wagons from the same range. The picture linked to one for sale on Ebay.
