This is the LAST Ruston 6HP 3-speed SPRUNG Steam Traction Engine IN THE WORLD. There were only six of these made by Ruston Proctor of Lincoln, United Kingdom. Supposedly all six were scrapped and lost to time, but here is the last one in existence and the proof it exists... in New Zealand. Steve tells us of his engine and the work he's done so far.
MANY thanks again to Steve for his hospitality and sharing his encyclopedic knowledge.
