Wilesco D430 Steam Locomobile

The D430 style of locomotives were mainly used in agriculture around the turn of the 20th century. They were used for ploughing and threshing. At that time, locomotives could be mounted both mobile and stationary. The difference to automobiles was that they were often pulled to their destination by horses. However, they could also drive themselves and move at a speed of 3 - 4 km/h.
