EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage Garrett Tractor 34789, affectionately named "Queenie" (later known as "Cornish Star"), at the Redruth Steam Rally in 1968. The tractor, manufactured by Richard Garrett & Sons in Leiston, Suffolk, was built in 1926 and registered with the number plate YB 7841. With its compound engine boasting four cylinders and a nominal horsepower of unknown size, this historic machine is a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. The Garrett Tractor 34789, Queenie, was a beloved piece of machinery, and its presence at the Redruth Steam Rally was a crowd-pleaser. The event, which took place in 1968, provided an opportunity for enthusiasts to gather and celebrate the rich history of steam-powered machinery. This photograph captures the essence of that era, with Queenie proudly displayed against a backdrop of other vintage vehicles and steam engines. The Garrett Tractor Company, founded in 1883, was known for its innovative designs and high-quality production. The 34789, Queenie, is a prime example of their commitment to excellence. Its later name, Cornish Star, speaks to its enduring popularity and the pride it brought to its owners. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, when steam power ruled the agricultural landscape and the simple joy of machinery was a source of endless fascination.
