Nice one Baz - what an impressive sight (unless you're stuck behind them!) saw a die cast model of one of the WD traction engines in my local model shop - 1/76 scale by Oxford iirc.

Thanks for that link Baz.
Both Mrs K and I enjoyed it immensely.One forgets in these days of technological advancement just how
fraught getting heavy equipment up to the front was in 1914.

That is a great video, Barry! Thank you for posting it. I was surprised by how quickly those steam traction engines can move.

The link goes to the fullscreen version, which takes forever to load.

Reminds me of the Parade of Steam Engine at the Great Oregon Steam-Up -- sitting there watching all that exposed machinery flailing about, I kept hearing the voice of Jeremy Clarkson: "I want to buy some Death, please."
