Whilst best known for other steam products, Garrett’s produced a respectable number of traction engines, their last, a GPTE being delivered in 1931.This book looks at all the types: Strawburners, Ploughing Engines and New Zealand Tractions, Road Locomotives and Showman’s Engines, and Continental Traction Engines. Erudition and an easy writing style make this is an informative and enjoyable book. Some of the illustrations are a bit dark, probably due to their age; no padding with preservation era photos! 144 pages. 130 illustrations including previously unpublished drawings and photographs, and a full builder’s list. Hardbound. Published by the author
