Showman’s Traction Engine

Showman’s Traction Engine

I have always been inspired by Traction Engines and thought this would make and Awesome Free Gift with Purchase. Proving both play value for children and detail for avid dedicated adult collectors - I hope the LEGO community enjoy this model as both a toy and display piece to mark the 'Old Glory' era - a true vintage masterpiece.

The model includes:

dedicated LEGO minifigure driver
fully functional steering (via rotation of the chimney!) - turned in image 2
a chimney extension (clipped to the roof in transit) to draw smoke up and away in Showman mode
firebox (with opening door) complete with flame for builders pleasure!
authentic beads of 'festoon' lighting beneath the canopy (coloured LEGO gems!)
2 x generators with dials - to power the fairground
2 x wheel 'chocks' hanging prototypically from the coal bunker.

All pieces and colours are available from current LEGO elements.

249 pieces – a fun challenge to achieve detail within the magic 250!
