The shape of things to come ..... A view looking to the east towards an exhibit at the Somerset Steam Spectacular 2006 on Hext Hill. The wagon is based on a Leyland Sherpa chassis with Land Rover running gear, and is powered by a Roanoke steam engine burning wood from old packing pallets. Just the thing for when the oil runs out.
