[@jonstaines2947]

Mike Lugg, still repairing the odd engine and what a great bloke to know.

This kid is living the dream

[@willbreckinridge8010]

Oh, what I would give to be that kid!

[@nightmare_gacha5341]

I really love traction engines and I’ve been dreaming of me getting one of my own and since they don’t make them anymore, unfortunately I think I’ve just been wishing and wishing all day long just to get a traction engine.

[@amybaldwin2607]

I have two traction engines while we actually have 3

[@robwilde855]

It looks to me like one of the single crank compounds.

[@Siege-v3m]

Show how different kids were built back then.

[@peterforden5917]

Wonder if their Mums had washing machines and dryers :D

[@LegoWormNoah101]

Proof that some kids don't need parents

[@nightlightabcd]

He would not have this without his father!

[@PeterSwinkels]

Looks like a dangerous hobby.
