ON THIS MONTH’S COVER
Fred wrote to us, saying, ‘I have been collecting
Galloway’s for about ten years. Being they were sold direct
from factory to the customer, it makes them somewhat difficult to
find. There seems to be no one area where there are a lot of them
to be found. Searching for them has taken me from New York to
Kansas.’ Fred goes on to say that 14 of his engines have been
completely restored, and the remainder are waiting only to be
painted and lettered.
Mr. Brinkmann tells us that although there were many brands of
engines built in Australia from the early 1900s, few of the
manufacturers survive to the present. He says that large quantities
of engines were brought to Australia from the United States,
including Hercules, Fairbanks Morse, International and Stover. The
Sandwich engines, such as this 2? HP #B7429 made in the early 1920s
are rare in his country. Malcolm’s real love is Fordson
tractors which he collects and restorers as time permits.
