A remarkably advanced design of a steam engine made back in 1863!

While some people can be bemused by its charming quaintness, others can dismiss it for being outright bizarre. However, this curious conception known as the Blackburn Agricultural Engine was conceived about 150 years back, in 1863 (when there was no 'steam-punk' presumably).

Now exhibited in a model form conceived by Cherry Hill, the originally one and only design actually incorporated the steam boiler inside its large and rotund rear wheel. Currently shown at the UK Model Engineering exhibit, this miniature form too runs on steam and does function properly i.e. it is live steam.
