Later taken over by John Deere

We owned one a long time ago, and replaced the 4 cylinder motor with a 5 cylinder Gardiner diesel, combining the flywheels from both motors in the rebuild she would tick over at about 50 rpms at idle. A beautiful piece engineering in its time..
Alas the ravishes of time has taken its toll on the original

Probably G scale or something, but I reckon still pretty cool.
