LORD DUNMORE'S NEW STEAM-PLOUGH
The unusual steam traction engine is known as the "Martin Luther." The engine stands as shown in Swakopmund, S.W.A., Namibia, Africa, with a plaque which reads: "Remains of the first steam tractor brought to south west Africa in 1896 by Lieutenant Troost to operate a freight service between Swakopmund and the inland. It came to a standstill here and thereafter became known as Martin Luther.
Above is a 15 HP steam traction engine built in 1896 or 1897 by M. Rumely Co., s/n 3587. The engine belongs to David J. Vanek, Jr. of RR #3, Box 46, Lewistown, MT 59457, who would like to know the exact year of manufacture if anyone knows. Vanek bought the engine from Clyde Corley of Geraldine, MT in 1985; Keith Cox helped with the restoration, which was accomplished with advice from Corley. Vanek is only 22 years old and a licensed engineer.
