is this some sort of steam dragster?

I reckon that's a Pratt and Whitney jet motor on the side. It has to be Doc Emmetts time travelling train.

HahahaHohohohohoHehehe You're all wrong... This is actually a steam driven garden shed, as produced by Norris all those years ago. Notice the happy gardner at the controls having just put this flatpack creation together.

Noonoooooo, tell me it's all a bad dream...... This is what happens when a perfectly capable loco builder gets bored. I can pop into my shed and get you some cab shots. Did they have Spear and Jackson regulators in them?
