At 'Steaming Under the Southern Cross' August 2006. Jondaryan Woolshed west of Toowoomba, Queensland. The axe in the foreground would be used to keep a supply of firewood up to the steam engine.
The Avery Undermount Steam Engine is relatively rare. What sets it apart from the traditional steam engine is that all the working parts are mounted on a chassis below the boiler preventing stress to the boiler itself. In catalogs of the time the merits of this design as opposed to the traditional ones raged back and forth.
I like this design because it looks cool. It looks more like a steam locomotive than a farm implement. It’s just a cool design.
To see the 3-D, use red/cyan glasses.

The Hornsby Chain-Track Tractor is the ancestor of all "caterpillars". After some petroleum-powered prototypes, in 1909 a steam-powered unit was sold for work in the Yukon Territories, where oil was scare but coal and water abundant. The steam engine (Boiler and machine aggregate) was delivered by William Foster, of Lincoln. The track system and steering was created by David Roberts at Hornsby Co.
The Roberts patent rights were sold to the Holt Co in early 1914, which was in 1925 absorbed into the Caterpillar Co.
Today, only the chain tracks of the Hornsby Steam Crawler have survived.
There is a breathtaking live steam model of this tractor at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvzBofFfzA which helped me a lot in figuring out the right proportions.

This was originally going to be a telephoto shot, and then I realized how glorious the bigger scenic panorama was and quickly switched to wide angle. The boxcars look a little scruffy because we had just started the painting process. One has a first coat, two have just been scraped, and none have any lettering. For a few miles of "desert" railroad, the NN is amazingly scenic.

The weather sucked, but the colder than average temperatures really enhanced the effect of the steam clouds, so I guess I can't complain too much.
