Stephen Campbell, descendant of Victorian engineer John Campbell, surprised his family last weekend when he revealed that he had bought his great-grandfather’s award-winning steam engine (Pick of the week, ATG No 2380).
He discovered the c.1900 scratch-built model horizontal live engine on the website of dealership Vavasseur Antiques while doing online research into his family tree.
