The styling of this one suggests American origins. |

Could be Russian-built based on a Minneapolis? |

I don't think so , at this point Russia had very very poor industry and had to import most of their stuff except Mineapolis so far I didn't any other producer who used such a bucket at front and rear maybe you can do some digging too ? -- Last edit: 2014-07-04 21:46:13 |

Minneapolis usually has six spokes in the pulley and this one has three? And Minneapolis was usually all black body? Is this a real picture or a painting? |

NOT real besides back then there wasn't any color photos... -- Last edit: 2014-07-04 21:52:28 |

So if this is a painting, it could be a fictionalized Minneapolis. |

yes, unless you find any other steam tractor with those weird buckets then think can be listed as such... |

It could be a hand-coloured photograph. @mike962: Real colour photography did exist, even in Russia. ![]() |

Some Nichols and Shepard steam traction engines had a bucket on the front, but this looks more like a Minneapolis. But I don't know of Russia actually importing any steam engines from America. |

Call it a Minneapolis if that's what it looks like the most and nobody insists on calling it anything else. |
