Meccano post-war offered a small meths-fueled steam engine mounted on a standard meccano 3"x6" (?) plate, and it drove a pulley wheel. So using a suitable 'belt' (and possibly using meccano's sophisticated gear set assortment) you could construct steam-rollers etc (I never did get around to running on a model railroad track). Now everything's electric/electronic. Pity.
