In this vehicle, one of the most important, features of the design is the arrangement of the rear springing, the semi-elliptic springs, being entirely outside the mails body of the tractor. The engine has compound cylinders, positioned above the loco.-type boiler. Three speeds are provided, and the water is carried in a special belly tank. The steam wagon has two change speed gears, and the final drive is by a long roller chain to a chain wheel containing the differential gear and positioned on the rear axle.
