TQ8833 : Tenterden Titan
taken 10 years ago, near to Tenterden, Kent, Great Britain
Tenterden Titan
It's sitting outside the Tenterden Museum, but what is it? OK, it's a boiler on wheels. But why? There is no obvious drive to any of the wheels and the tow-bar connection on the front confirms lack of incorporated motive power. There seem to be no pistons or other driving gear such as a fly wheel etc. So it's not a traction engine or a steam roller or a road engine. I'm guessing it's maybe 150 years old so why have a movable boiler of substantial size and output. Anybody any ideas or info?
