The engine was drawn in red, like a fire truck, because when this was written most things were drawn in red, blue, yellow, green. orange was a very uncommon color, unlike nowadays where orange is a cheap substitute for red.
Keep in mind that this book was written in the early 1900's, when horsepower was rated differently than it is today. I read this and Mike Mulligan to my mother's first grade class when work is slow.
my mom saw this at school and thought it was not on youtube i proved her wrong. i love this book and more like a 9 year old tractor lol im 9 love looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the book wish i had a copy soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badley cool book wish i had the book
The announcer may be a little too "Voice of God" for li'l kids, but this is wonderful.

55 horsepower may not be a lot in the grand scheme of things, but I bet it sounds like a whole lot to a 6 year old lol
