...or steam tractor, whichever you prefer.
I built this some time ago but never posted the final pics. The tyres on the
rear wheels are made from slices of bicycle inner tube.
All pics here after

That looks very nice! I like it a lot. I think you’ve done an excellent job
of capturing the essence of an old steam tractor. My only criticism is that
it seems too small for minifigs. This page
http://www.oldthreshers.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=parade.main has some
pictures (about 2/3 of the way down) that show what I mean.

Thanks Brian, yes it is a little small. The main reason I did it that small was
so I could use those wheels. There’s no bigger wheels (AFAIK) with spokes like
that, and I think they make the model.
