One of the recent acqusitions of the Reynolds Museum in
Wetaskiwin, Alberta, is a portable steamer which has been dated
circa 1890. The only marking on the engine other than some casting
numbers is the ‘R & Co.’ on the firebox door. The
museum would like to hear from anyone who can identify the engine,
and so would we!
