EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage Mighty Atom tractor, registration number DO2003 and chassis number 13031, proudly displaying its rich history. Built in the early 1900s by William Foster & Co. in Lincoln, England, this steam-powered marvel was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time. Powered by a 4 Nhp (Nominal Horsepower) compound steam engine, this tractor, also known as the Foster Tractor DO2003, was a heavy-duty machine designed for farming applications. The Mighty Atom, a true relic of the past, was manufactured in 1913, making it over a century old. Its robust design and impressive capabilities made it a staple in the agricultural industry during the 1970s and 1980s. The steam engine, with its intricate components and complex mechanics, provided the power necessary to tackle the most demanding farming tasks. Despite its age, the Mighty Atom's charm lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the agricultural past. Its rustic appearance, coupled with the steam engine's unique hiss and whistle, evoke a sense of nostalgia and admiration for the bygone era of steam-powered machinery. This photograph is a reminder of the significant role steam-powered vehicles played in shaping the agricultural landscape and the advancement of farming technology.
