A steam trike tractor:

Personally, I wouldn't want to be within 100 yards of that beast when it was under steam.

Eck! said...: I haven't gotten enough to say if its horizontal tube boiler or vertical tube boiler. I do suspect its vertical and the tank in front of that is the water tank. The firebox is under the driver position at the rear.

If vertical are she subject to boil out?

Eck! said...: Did more digging and its a vertical fire tube boiler. It can still run
dry or have a pressure piping failure and bad stuff happens but no crown sheet as in horizontal fire tube designs, the fire and water
are both at the bottom.

Safer, no just has a different set of things to beware of.
