![[Image: sherlockholmesseason2episode3t.3941.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is119/sherlockholmesseason2episode3t.3941.jpg) It is a Burrell Steam Tractor. So far I cannot say what model it is. Probably a 5 nhp type from the early 20th century -- therefore a bit too young for the film (~1890), but fits very well into the scene. N.B.: I gave no class, as this vehicle does not fit into any of the existing classes. A new class could either be 'tractor'/'motor tractor' (not farming, but for all vehicles used for pulling trailers without being a truck) or a special class 'steam engine'. |

Or a special class for such very old things. Like for the Benz already listed. |

Like 'all-that-old-stuff-class'  We could give time periodes (Edwardian, Vintage, Veteran, ...). This might be good for giving a time stamp for all the vehicles without an exact production date. Useful if one could search for e.g. "all race cars from 1950 - 1960". But for now we could list 'old stuff' in the existing categories. A new category 'motor tractor' in the trucks section would be best, as there are other petrol/diesel engined vehicles of this kind. Other steam engined vehicles like road-rollers and plowing engines have already a class, the rest fits into 'simple truck' or 'motor tractor'. Interesting to note: the last traction engine was made in 1960! |

Not entirely true, Alexander. They are built to this day. |
