1929 Sentinel DG8 Steam Wagon 8016 "Hercules"

Making it's way slowly up the cobbled incline at Beamish Museum is the monster that is Sentinel DG8 steam wagon UX 5355 (Works No. 8016) of 1929 - later named "Hercules".

 

This immaculately restored truck certainly makes the driver work for his wages - following my observation of it in operation, you need to be Superman to turn the steering wheel!
