Not that I am aware of.

Is the chassis manufacturer still active ?

gte4289 · « **Reply #54 on:** November 21, 2019, 06:26:41 PM »

The company was bought up and merged in with others, but the brand is no longer in use.

I apologize, but it had somehow slipped my mind that this company actually began as a manufacturer of passenger cars, yet transitioned early on to focus exclusively on trucks and commercial vehicles. The past few days have been hectic for me.

No, not from a magazine

Hmm, then maybe a book? This doesn't look like an original photo

The image came from an online source and had clearly been uploaded from an original photo. It was then 'processed' by me to render Google's 'Search by Image' tool ineffective.

so is it from an online picture archive by a museum?

No.

To be honest, I'm not sure a 'where can I find it' line of questioning is going to be as effective as a 'what is it' inquiry when it comes to finding this solution.

is it a fire engine?

I don't think so.

I really have no idea what the builder's intention was beyond creating a road-going vehicle by mating an enormous steam engine to a truck chassis. The only additional information available is a short blurb written on the back of the photo by the builder, which identifies: 1) the engine; 2) the chassis; 3) the builder's name; 4) the 'event'; and 5) the year in which the photo was taken.

Well, the 'what is it' engine clearly doesn't work either. So let's stick to the where can I find it. Is it from an online picture archive by a museum?
