Here is a model of an older steam-powered leveler/tractor from many decades ago. I got this as a present from a family member quite a while back.

It is actually a working, powered machine using a real steam engine/boiler and using fuel pellets to heat the water in the boiler. I am not sure of the exact scale but it is around 12 inches or so.

Here, it has unfortunately run over the toes of my pet ape, but Mr. Monkey should heal up ok once he gets loose !

I had a Mamod Steam Tractor similar to this back in my childhood. Nice to see one again. Mine had skinny front wheels rather than the roller.

Nice Mike. I hope the monkey is okay because I really get "steamed up" when animals are hurt.
