I have no connection with the family. I'm a steam enthusiast so put in traction engine in the search to see what would come up. I knew that The Rover has survived into preservation so thought I would share the pictures of her.
Wouldn't mind seeing the engine pictures you have if you're willing/able to post them

It's certainly not a traction engine.
Looks like a large artillery gun

Few pictures you might be interested in:
Not sure if the one below is Burrell 3471 "The Rover" or 3450 "Always ready". It was taken at Barnards Castle.
Not sure where or when this picture was taken.
This one was taken at Stapleford Rally in 2005.
The Rover still survives & is owned by a chap called Bill Hunt

Looking for details of Thomas Armstrong, born at Crookholm Farm, Dumfriesshire in 1758
He later moved to Cumbria and married Margaret Little on 9th July 1781 at Kirkandrews-on-Esk, Cumberland & had a son John, born in 1782.
Looking for details on Thomas' birth date & who his parents were

Cumberland / John Armstrong born 1782 Raughton Head
« on: Wednesday 13 August 14 22:20 BST (UK) »
Looking for details of John Armstrong, born around September 1782 at Raughton Head.
He married Jane Little (1789-1846) at Castle Sowerby, Cumberland, on 3 Aug 1807.
They had a number of children including Andrew Armstrong, born 1827.
Does anyone know what date John was born & who his parents were?
