First off chuck aint building no butt buggies  , 
and  Elden has probably seen enough to get the idea . So
dont tool around burning petrol on my account . BUT 
there dont appear to be any decent close ups of the dreadnoughts
on the internet , and that's just shameful. :-)

And secondly ,  it was supposed to have had a 60HP
Blackstone in it .  The white one in it dont look too awful big 

Here is a better shot of the trailer load of steam engines .
