Fordson "Sussex" with a Wild Balloon winch.

Balloon were used in WW1 for observation - usually artillery spotting, but in WW2 they were used as part of the anti-aircraft defence system, especially against low-level attacks.
[cables were notoriously difficult for pilots to see, and hitting it was almost always fatal for the aircraft].

This deceptively simple design by Hudson (Leeds) was the merger of a Fordson Major tractor engine and transmission mounted onto a rail chassis.
Works No. 36863 of 1929 originally worked at a brickworks, was initially preserved at another site before arriving at Statfold. [dates ?]
[I saw the very similar loco wksno 33924 at Apedale in 2015]

The Green one is {T14} a Fordson Standard RegNo CTY 313

I really like the conversion that has been done with the waggon back. That's what I call a neat idea, enabling the exhibitor to keep a close eye on the vehicle.

Literally a rail tractor. (2ft gauge) the prime mover is a Fordson major tractor, with the final drive powering the rail wheels.
It was built by R Hudson of Leeds No. 39924 in 1931 and was visiting from the Statfold Barn Railway.
