In 1958 enthusiasts in North Canterbury, New Zealand, held the country's first traction engine rally and delighted the nation as the brought steam traction back from the brink. Many of their forebears were the early farmers, contractors, sawmillers and engineers of a new colony developed out of dust and wind during the heyday of the Victoria age of steam. This explains why steam remains strong in southern New Zealand, with some of the world's finest lineups of vintage farm and steam machinery. Following the outstanding success of that first rally, the Southbrook Traction Engine Club was formed. This book celebrates the clubs first fifty years; the driver and their families, engines and the machinery they drive; restoration, rallying and overseas tours.
