Well done and yes scotty i thought of steam punk straight away. I found in a yard today completely by accident an old traction engine in a shed. The stuff is still out there.

Holy crap - you wouldn't want to fall off it sideways while it was going

Here's more - Make sure to overdub some music of your taste - the music on the video is crap.;

That thing looks like seriously good fun if you could get it going again (and we all know you can !!!)

Paint it green Virgil - THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO !!!

I'd say it is either chains or a gear train. Either way the drums are driven from the rear. It may be mentioned in the link or somewhere else. When I did the search there is a lot of stuff about these unusual machines.
