The bolier size would have made all the difference I think. WAY too small to carry the look.

How does such a thing exist? Well, now that I think about it, it's really just a traction engine with a truck frame and some added stuff like bells, locomotive livery, etc.

| There's plenty of beef in those little engines used...convert it to LP gas and it'll be hot enough to make you the envy of your neighbors. It's basically a Climax on a truck frame...I'd buy it if I could...
