Just look at the full size version, and the details of how they made a relatively sized full cab for her in place of an ordinary back seat in a 7 passenger touring car, and just below and behind the driver is a set of stairs, and a regular trunk under the footman on the back. Thanks to Navarro Zonta who shared this with Nik of http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/ who finds all the coolest stuff!

Why he's riding a big wheel / pennytfarthing on rails is anyone's guess... but I'm guessing he was a SOB to work for
There has to be a reason for the strange design angle of the steam engine, I'm going to guess it was for big uphill angles so the heat exchanger tubes would be level
