A variety of snowmachines from The Old Motor

What some used to do with their Harleys in the winter

Cat tracked and hydraulic rammed with solid front tires.

Wow, land train... I can't recall seeing one before. Very cool

either a homemade snow machine from car parts, or a conversion kit... in front of the woman on the right is a door I think, and behind her the body seems to have some sheet metal going up the side from the frame

Steam punk, making things look victorian and brass era, steam powered... that's the idea. It has a lot of aspects though, here's a few

1930's France it seems, because just to the left of the motorwheel is a Citreon Traction Avant

Steam powered ditch digger.. .that is a monster

Cadillac tow truck, for more cars converted into tow trucks see: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/tow-trucks-were-sometimes-made-from-big.html

Johnny Cash and the 1986 Steam Expo. Very cool. Two times.

the above is the Lanz bulldog, 1 cylinder, compression ignition powered

all of these are just an indication of how cool http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/ is

Logging trucks, trains, and look at the size of those logs!

Driving the model T cars onto the tree trunk is wild, but a team of horses? Did they think about how they were going to get those horses to back up the whole way off that tree trunk?

that train on top of the bridge is cool... but what the freak! How long did it take them to make that bridge? And they had to have it pretty level for that train, believe it.
