Traction Engine Doctor (1960)

[@Mason58654]

What a machine, these traction engines that run on roads instead of rails! I’d love to have one!

Wilesco makes small-scale ones, which actually run. They are about $350-400 (USD) brand new, so a bit pricey but cheap compared to a full-scale one, lol

Brilliant. 'One has even changed hands for fifteen hundred pounds'. I'll give him £100 for her. She'll be worth more like £400,000.00 now.

Would love one of these. Could play for hours with her.

See the price of petrol in 1960, at the end of the video: 4 and 8 pence-ha'penny! [For the young, that means 23 and a third New Pence [present-day pennies]] - for a gallon. That's very slightly over 5p per litre. And we grumbled about how dear it was!

Unless it can run on sea water, I give it a miss. Here in Western Australia, with water shortages, it would be cheaper to fill with Coca-Cola and ice cream. Just shake to build pressure. We also have fire bans 😮.
