This photograph showcases the Wallis & Steevens Traction Engine HO5815 Boxer, with registration number MSN 7115, proudly displayed at the 1959 Andover Steam Rally. The Wallis & Steevens company, based in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England, was renowned for its production of agricultural equipment, traction engines, and steam and diesel road rollers. Built in 1910, this historic Boxer engine is a testament to the company's engineering prowess and innovation. The traction engine, a popular type of stationary steam engine used for agricultural work during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is seen here in all its glory. The Boxer's distinctive design, with its large flywheel and boiler, is a sight to behold. The engine's intricate details, from the brass fittings to the wooden wheels, are a reminder of a bygone era when steam power ruled the agricultural landscape.
