Not quite what one expects under the bonnet

a few tail-ends from Welland STEAM fair before changing gear to Suffolk mode

They are still surprisingly nippy, I followed a couple of these up hill last year and they went up much quicker than you'd expect of an old car.

I never looked under the hood of a steam car, interesting....
