I'm thinking Dad's Army and Corporal Jones' trousers…….

interesting…maybe it could also be used for my TASTF British during second Boer War…find some picts on the web..but was it experimental or actually used to pull heavy guns/engineers equipment?

Very interesting and an impressive model!

Once upon a time I saw a 1900-ish "what war will look in the future" illustration featuring a steam traction engine festooned with British riflemen bouncing across the veldt putting the nefarious Boers to flight.

Quar would appreciate something like that too.

Just what I've been trying to get someone to produce – but in my scale 15 mm or even 18 mm. One day, one day. Very nice.

It can also be used for the Chinese labour corps vehicles, Often seen along the front. The best descriptions are in the Henry Williamson Dark Lantern series of novels – Start with A Fox Under My Cloak.

For 15/18mm you could try to track down one of the old Lesney Matchbox Models Stealm Traction Engine – a fairground one. There must be some on Ebay.

Excellent. Must get one.
