I mentioned it before, as it said how many pounds it pulled. It was a lot. Well here's a add. Runs on 20amps too It'd be cheaper than one of those 4inch scales though I wonder if putting a SE3 in it would power it Mamodman123 Is that picture right? it's claming to pull a kid? Wallace Yup, it's right, I was a bit in too. The booklet I first saw it in, with plans, claimed to pull around 40pound I think. Something big. I know whatever it was, it would easily pull my 3yr old daughter. It was using an electric motor Dad has, (same as in the crane pics and plans I posted), but didn't mention 20amps. Electric welders here use a special 15amp socket. Normal sockets are less than that. Mamodman123 I see Quite impressive none the less bessytractor Re: Meccano traction engine Advert Wallace wrote: This might be the traction engine who's plans I was looking for in Dad's booklets.

The blurb says it runs off a 20 amp HOUR accumulator (battery). Bascially if the motor was drawing 20 amps the battery would last one hour from full charge!
