About Us

Welcome to Little Samson Traction Engine, where history meets craftsmanship. Our journey began with a passion for steam-powered engineering and a dedication to preserving the legacy of the Savage’s brothers Little Samson Traction Engine.

This website chronicles the construction of a half-size (6″ scale) model of the original Little Samson 4NHP, 5-ton steam tractor, built between 1904 and 1910. While only a handful of these historic engines were produced, today, enthusiasts around the world continue to build and operate live steam models of this remarkable machine.

At Little Samson Traction Engine, we document every step of the restoration and construction process, sharing insights, photos, and updates on our progress. From wheel fabrication to boiler assembly, our goal is to provide a detailed look into the craftsmanship behind these iconic steam engines.

Join us as we celebrate the art of steam engineering and keep the spirit of Little Samson alive for future generations.
