There’s a new photo of a stolen traction engine doing the rounds on Facebook at the moment, so keep your eyes peeled; does anyone recognise the actual model, or what it’s based on?

I’ve had a good look around, and no-one seems to know the origin of the plea for help.
I’ve no idea if it’s spam or not.
Several folk have tried to find Eli Brown and failed, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & TikTok.

Does anyone recognise the little logo to the right of the 1 hour?
How about View Insights at the bottom, what social media uses that?

I might well be genuine, and if so I hope it gets returned and the thieves apprehended, but I can’t even work out which continent it’s on; I know it says stolen from Wiltshire.

Google reverse image search doesn’t throw up anything useful.

Well spotted, I’d never noticed that the logo changes when you view a group directly as a member

I’ve never noticed the View Insights at the bottom though.
I have applied to join “Steam Traction Engines or Steam Tractors”, where it got a mention, so I’ll report back if anything useful shows up.
Maybe there are other member’s on here who are also on groups which feature the request for help.
It’s always a pain when folk share screenshots, rather than the original request for help.

Edit, in response to Jason’s second post; that’s odd, I couldn’t find him earlier, and other people were claiming the same.

Looks like he was the chap it was stolen from, if anyone sees it around

Same old forum problem with your posted image, Bill … but the link works fine.

I bet he’s not a happy man !!
