Ben Popadak Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Terry Harper provided photo of the 1902 Rambler in a previous post. The Rambler is today privately owned and has been on public display for quite some time at the Boothbay Railway Museum and before that at the Owls Head Museum. I believe the same family, father, then son, has owned the car since the early 1950s. I ever get my pile of Rambler reconstructed it will be because of all the photos I have taken of this car and the information it has shared. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter used a unique FWD drive system using pinions and ring gears for the final drive. It was a great system but it did limit the turning radius which also accounts for the radical set back front axle which was used in an effort to shorten the wheel base and thus improve the turning radius.

Primarily designed for logging and mining railroads. Most either burned wood or oil this one is coal fired. Ford owned two of them I believe. The Engineer's side of the Shay has all the steam cylinders, drive shafts and geared wheels on the two trucks.🤩 Capt.
