Traction Engines

AY 9682 used to be 'Land's Golden Dragons' but don't know the name of the engine.

picture #53 has the name of this engine, sent in by 'tractorpaul' as Dreadnought/Barbara Burrell No: 3093 from 1909.
I have found that the engine was built for show lady A. Holland.
Hope this is of some use.

Hi Rob I think were the confusion is that the engine has always been Dreadnaught and it used to say on the canopy side "Hollands(Lands ?) Golden Dragons"this was the fairground ride it used to work it was given the additional name Barbara by by Frank Lythgoe all his SRL's had an extra name (Daughters ?)

Hi Tractorpaul,
I agree that 'lands' is from 'hollands', the photo I found was not very clear. I don't have much info on Frank Lythgoe, so cannot comment on whether it was a daughter or not. Thanks for your info.
