Hallo,
Richard Trevithick has finally put his high pressure steam engine to good use. His latest mechanical marvel is a Carriage powered not by horse or Chinaman, but by the power of steam. No specifications are yet available but passengers report the ride is miserable. Trevithick claims this is an early prototype, but thinks the future is in rail travel anyway. “It seems nobody will ever abandon their trusty steed for milling about London. I implore you all to invest heavily in buggy whips”. Sadly there are no plans to export the London Steam Carriage to the new world.
