Well, Wow. Video of WWI steam powered vehicles. Cool.

Yeah, the video is a bit long but you can skip around and see what's there.  I figure this is penultimate pulp material.  Enjoy - if you haven't already seen it.

My pleasure - and I hope to get some 15 mm steam traction equipment.  Closest I know of is TT scale model railroad models from Langley in UK.  Love to hear of other options if anyone knows of them in 15 mm.

Cheers for the link cheered me up no end when I realized I'd made just about every vehicle in the video and I could do a fair representation of the convoy from the painted stuff in my collection(all in 28'mm)Kind of made my day as I'm plodding through some clay pushing (with broken finger).

In my neighborhood I get to see some of the old steam powered equipment in operation - though usually stationary - at local county or our state fairs.  Also, a half hour away is a museum with a number of pieces of equipment on display.  Glad you folks are getting a kick out of this.

And tin shed gamer you are now on the hook for photographing and displaying your collection - in as near as you can replication of the video (of course!).  We shall all await the event.   ;)

I walked right into that one lol
As soon as its gets bored of being windy with the lovely interludes of rain. Then I'll do just that .(admittedly its going to look like a last of the Sumner wine moment to anyone looking out the window ::) )

If I count it right, there are eleven vehicles there.  And a very nice grouping it is.  A man of his word and a man of talent.

Sometimes, it is the gardens job to be messy.  The Horticulture Police don't usually visit LAF, you know?   :D
