More cool vehicles from Steampunkvehicles.Tumblr.com

Which got your attention first, the 6 wheels, the carpet roof, or the three bench seats? What a world's fair looking extravagence. Beautiful vehicle. I wish I had a year or maker. Reminds me of the 1905 Bordeux Cali limo https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyZQDbVuTclqEd5Go_sD93VBjRfFYPDa7Cl8JvG7R7PoLWRAYmeDrPo2NGxKutDOXFupPKaatCiwybvSMJBh9QcbhqytVKuxviDKHDNj9LiF38vkJxBPZgSQLlnz-FeXrHKoJA5HUJH_w/s1600/1905+Bordeaux+Cali+Limousine..jpg
1934 Mercedes DR rail car
1912 Italian 305mm cannon... what in the world pulled, pushed or powered this beast?
Cool looking but simple railway crane
the Pickwick Coach, sleeps 26

Great 1920's or early 1930's 5th wheel tow and trailer
Notice in the above, the front wheel has a direction vane so the driver way at the back of the cab can tell where it will steer
For any more info there may be on these images http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/

Steampunk Vehicles Tumblr just clued me in on double front ended inspection railcars




When it was not easy to turn them around, and they knew that the car would need to return to its original location, they had to build with two engines, so it doesn't overheat from driving backwards long distance.... as the radiator needs the airflow to keep the engine cool. I just learned this from Johnny at Steampunk vehicles!
