Another of the Maxitrak Aveling & Porter steam wagons. Based on their well-proven A&P traction engine design, the wagon is, if anything, even more practical to drive with a flat bed to perch on and footrests giving a comfortable driving position, with all controls within easy reach.
Fitted with Maxitrak's legendary "hot rod" high gear, Ashley's notes made when steaming this one read "
runs really well, fast little wagon". Couldn't agree more, these free-steaming engines can more than match the pace of a 4 inch traction engine on the road!
Complete with an easy-loading road trailer and tarpaulin cover.
