Rocket Propelled Traction Engine (RPTE)

Here we have my Rocket Propelled Traction Engine (RPTE) – The Ultimate Steam Punk Contraption!

I love historic vehicles and wanted to incorporate our wonderful vehicular and mechanical History into the Future – this is my ‘slightly eccentric’ take on it!

The rocket is high powered so you can get to places in superfast time but it has that ‘vintage’ look and feel.

The large wheels can get you over wild terrain and the cab protects the driver from extreme atmospheres and phenomenal heat (generated by the Rocket Boosters). There are some handy space tools for examining and recovering samples found on intrepid expeditions and stoking the firebox!!

This model has 245 pieces.
