Steam Tractor with Peter Laing figure for scale

Steam tractor and car with Peter Laing 15mm Victorian parade  infantryman for scale. The car is marked "HQ", so  he must be guarding the general's office.

I don't know the make of these trucks, the driver is not Peter Laing.

Here is the steam tractor I bought recently with a Peter Laing 15mm figure next to it for scale. I think Ian Dury (a fellow Peter Laing lover and helpful guide to me) was right suggesting that it might be a model railroad piece. There are also a couple of trucks that I got in the same lot. They just seem to have a lot of promise for war-game scenarios.

  1. I think the last two of these may be from the Langton Miniatures 1:200 range that I spotted when I was looking through for traction engine models:

  2. Ian, I do believe you are right. I am thinking that the Rolls Royce armor car I got in the lot might even be a Langton miniature, too.

  3. Not sure that they make a Rolls Royce, but they do make a Lanchester, which is quite similar
