These are some things I made back in 2015 when I had a bit of an obsession with steam vehicles. I’ve improved as a builder since then and there are a parts of these I would do differently now, but for the most part I think these actually hold up pretty well today compared to my newer stuff, and I remember these being some of the most detailed models I’d ever done back in the day. I never got around to making any of these digital models in real life due to a lack of certain parts, though I might consider giving it a try now... I made a ton of steam lorry models as well, and I’ll share those in a later post.

Those are awesome. Did you ever actually build any of them?

I built one steam lorry/tractor “in the plastic”.

As well as a steamroller design copied from the internet...

The steam roller is fantastic.

Here’s the original:

Fun fact: It was designed by the same guy responsible for the Caterham 7 Lego Ideas set.

I feel like I’m watching an episode of Thomas.
