Thread: Little Samson traction engines
27/08/2010 13:40:07

I faced the same choice a few years ago and am now building a 4” Samson. Totally delighted with the choice. As mentioned above, the original prototype was small so when buying fittings for the 4” Samson you will be in the 3” section of most catalogues.

 Every component on the 4” (including boiler, but not the whole engine of course!) is still a one-person lift. Makes life easier in the home workshop.

 Finished engine and driving trailer can be towed on a 750Kg unbraked trailer with a decent safety margin. Helps, keep the costs down.
