Check out this outstanding 1:16 live steam model of an exuberantly steampunk 1863 Isaac Blackburn Agricultural Engine built by Cherry Hill (née Hinds). The pictures below were taken at the 2009 UK Model Engineer Exhibition and unfortunately do not do her model justice, not very sharp and many reflections. There are more photos and information on the Roughboy (http://roughboy.net/) site. The model actually works, something that the sole original failed to do, perhaps understandably given the complexity and unusual configuration with the boiler inside the large driving wheel.

As a teen growing up my dad got Model Engineer magazine and I was a huge fan of Ms. Hinds!
I never saw this one, It's great, thanks for posting this!

The model looks really impressive. This humbles most of our efforts...
Most impressive model and a wonderfully bizzare concept.
