Fowler Snaketrac, 1914, I believe..



The Darby Digger



1930 Yorkshire Patent Steam Wagon



And a Fodens centre engine, converted from a steam tractor boiler/engine.

I love the fact that Machines use to have character. You used to be able to see the workings and be able to identify how it worked. Why did we ever start closing things up in casings. Motorcycles were one of the few things you could still count on, but even now days they seem to be becoming softer. Give me angles and gears I can see. Ergonomics be Damned!

     Dear Harold,

     Great Pictures!  Functional old machinery always fascinates me.

Cool, I like how anachronistic the tank, digger and truck look. Thye digger almost looks like some kind of steam-powered centipede mecha.

They weren't anachronistic in their time, they were actually fairly state of the art, ro slightly better...  Cheesy

True, I like how the truck looks sorta like a modern truck, but also steampunk in it's asthetic as well. Hope you find more pictures like this!

This is one of my favorites, a steam powered predecessor to the famous Caterpillar line of tracked vehicles...the Hornsby Crawler:
