Fred Dibnah - Traction Engines of Yesteryear

Check out the glorious beasts of yesteryear. With a guest appearance by number one devotee Fred Dibnah. (RIP). Who doesn't love traction engines? The transition from horsepower to modern mechanics. The care and attention that goes into the restoration and maintainance of these magnificent machines is a wonderful treat for us - lovers of transport history. #freddibnah #tractionengines #steamengines

Sadly many of them went to scrap for the war effort, which was I'd say for the greater good.
