Living here in the nanny state, I mean Australia, we always take other people's safety first before our own, and especially over some old style automobile ! Rest assured guys, I'm assured all these changes are "reversible" once registration is completed.

The wrapped headers on the Australian market cars are to protect people from getting burnt...as are the engine covers. Tough lot the Aussies!


Makes you wonder how they manage with traction engines, because they are quite hot. and they have a lot of them!

My miniature is in front of the full size engine. This type is not found in Australia, but you get the idea.

Traction engines were used in the US too and they were called 'traction engines'
Proof that American English is just a computer setting, like time zone.

It is a steam train engine, but with road wheels, and on a small scale.

Not sure that 16 tons and 7 foot hind wheels is small! But smaller than large railway locomotives.
