The 6" Foden
Two huge Foden’s - a ‘C’ Type and SWB Lorry; 6" Scale, that’s half size!
The Foden in fully machined kit form, is only available from Steam Traction World, and includes all the individual component parts to produce a working, live steam engine - a LARGE live steam engine.
Size-wise the machines are 11.5 feet for the 'C' type, almost 8 feet for the SWB and both will weigh in at just over a ton. Both machines have true compound engines, with a working pressure of 170 psi+, a boiler diameter
of around 14 inches and with three speed, they certainly are impressive.
• Boiler diameter 14" Steel with expanded tubes
- Working pressure 170 psi
• Boiler Feed Arrangement - Crankshaft driven
pump & Injector
• Valve Gear - Stephenson’s
• Solid spoked cast wheels with
Vulcanised rubber tyres

All Steam Traction World parts supplied are fully machined ready for assembly after final de-burring, sanding and paint. Most models may be purchased over a fixed period of time with kits arriving at regular intervals to enable the customer to 'build as he/she buys'.
