shadowbeast Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I am looking for economical solutions to getting a steam tractor/traction engine/road locomotive, steam wagon, etc. Ironclad: http://www.ironcladminiatures.co.uk/shop/article_steam09/Steam-9.html?shop_param=cid%3D10%26aid%3Dsteam09%26 not too interesting. May be a bit much considering every tractor to be so armoured; where's the drive flywheel to power equipment? Corgi: Lledo: http://www.corgi.co.uk/shop/276/burrell-showmans-engine--frost-dg125013/?from_categories=days-gone I don't know if it's big enough. Vintage Glory of Steam: http://www.corgi.co.uk/shop/road-transport/vintage-glory-of-steam/ Big enough but the prices have followed suit- then failed to stop. Duncan Models: http://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/Duncan_Models__O__scale___________RETAIL_ONLY_.html Same problem. Wiseman: http://www.locopainter.com/store/product.php?id=369 I think we see a pattern forming here. Langley seem to have discontinued their tractor, and only have a steam wagon: http://www.langleymodels.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_O_Vehicles_horse_drawn__combines_tractors_plant__83.html scroll down a bit. Are there any economical solutions? Does anyone know of any good value for money wheels, so I can scratch some vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Jedi Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Have you looked at Ramshackle Games? They have a few interesting looking steampunk looking vehicles same vehicle done up with a train ram and lights and stuff by PappaMidnight and something that Ramos would like riding around in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowbeast Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I was thinking of a normal late 19thc/ turn of the century steam vehicle, not something that odd. Just for some equipment laying around a farm, mine, shop etc. Doesn't have to be historically accurate but must appear capable of work and those don't have a power transfer flywheel. I have the last two vehicles. The spider is so big I haven't managed to base it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the imp Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Airfix 1804 Steam Loco & Airfix Beam Engine Both are 1/32, and will require some conversion work to look more setting and scale appropriate, but they're inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
