What a 2008,
We traveled to woodland this summer and saw three best steamers and was told that there was four know to exist, and low and behold this fall we saw it in a private collection in NC. It was incomplete and not running but the man is working on it.

That's was probably Willis Abel's tractor. He started to build it about ten years ago but he never found an engine. He used to have the largest collection of steam engines in the east ~40 but has since sold them off.

Peter Holt also owns the 110 Best that was owned by Oscar's Dreamland. It is located at his CAT dealership in Texas. There are also a few others around that are not complete.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
