I have always like Avery steam traction engines. The undermounted ones are more numerous, but I like these little straight flue engines. I saw one sell that needed extensive restoration work, more than fifty years ago. I thought that the tough shape of the engine might make it possible to buy, but it started at $600 and went up fast. I don't remember what it went for, but when something starts at your limit, it knocks the wind out of your sales. Bill Sater, one of the founders of Old Threshers had one of these, and I spent a lot of time admiring it.
