Summary

[edit]
Description

The British Truck Company, Edwin Foden, Sons and Co was formed in 1887. The company produced massive industrial engines, as well as small stationary steam engines and, from 1880, agricultural traction engines. The perfecting of the compound traction engine in 1887 gave a significant marketing advantage and later proved invaluable to the development of the steam lorry.

This Steam Lorry was built in 1923, arriving in Australia it was driven from Newcastle to Armidale towing a 6 ton trailer, later used in a Sawmill and then a quarry. A full rebuild started in 1969 and moved under its own steam again in 1974. Now owned and maintained by the Navy Steam Club.
