Really a traction engine mounted on 4 wheels with large gear wheel driven
from flywheel shaft and directly to gears on wheels.
After 1920 the history is a bit vague. It appears to have been sold to
Marton Sash & Door Ltd. at Waione and left derelict there.
Its ultimate fate is unknown, probably reduced to scrap
