They sure spent some money on frills for those steam road tractors. Shiny bands on the boiler and such.

What was there speed on the road. It seems it would be a rough ride.

The US based traction engines were relatively slow. The Case I drive has a top speed of 2.5 mph.

The European ones have a much higher speed due to them being roaded everywhere back in the day. I don't know their range of speed.

Similar to chicken lights and such on big trucks in the US.

Just like driving in England! The Flywheel is on the left! All those center crank engines.

About 5 mph maximum. Steam trucks could get up to 20 to 25 mph on solid tyres.
