Description
Taken at theΒ Gartell Light Railway, near Templecombe in Somerset, UK, 2011. I don't know whether the guy on the ground is break dancing or if he has just caught the punchline of someone's joke....... If he is responsible for these two beauties I guessΒ he can do as he likes!Related content

Indeed. Must be shrunken down at the top for that reason.

Aaah, such beauties. That crane is especially nice, or should I say "Steam Elephant" (what a great name). I must post some traction engines... hmm... Β Β

I mean, in India and early 19th century England called them that.

Now you mention it, I did hear that term long ago and there was also an early railway locomotive called the steam elephant I think.

I'd call it the steam spider with all those vertical connecting rods!
