History In Motion

Drive real machines from the past. Every machine in this pack is a real one that someone built, and you can get in and drive it.

What you can drive

• Old Tractor – a farm tractor from 1917, on steel wheels
• Model T – the car from 1908 that fifteen million people bought
• La Marquise – a steam car from 1884, the oldest car that still runs
• Motor Lorry – the first lorry ever built, from 1896
• Steam Traction Engine – what pulled a plough before tractors did
• Motorcycle and Sidecar – a bike from the 1920s with a seat on the side
• Horse Cart – a coach with two horses in front
• Steam Locomotive – a train, with a coal car and a passenger car
• Tall Ship – three masts and nine sails
• Wright Flyer – the first plane that ever flew, from 1903
• Pesse Canoe – a boat cut from one log, the oldest boat ever found
• Mark I Tank – the first tank anyone ever built, from 1916, with a gun on each side
• Renault FT – a small tank from 1917, the first one with a turret that turns all the way round

Work the land

Hook a plough behind the tractor and drive. Every strip of ground you cross turns into wet farmland. There is also a seed drill that plants in rows, a reaper that cuts the crop, and a trailer that carries the load. A scythe cuts a whole patch by hand.

Old guns

Two cannons that you load with round shot and fire, and five old guns you can carry a musket, a blunderbuss, a shotgun, a revolver and a lever rifle. You need bullets in your bag to shoot, and each shot takes time to load again.

Old clothes

Three sets of four pieces each. A farmer in a straw hat and denim. A coachman in a top hat and a long coat. Sunday best, with a flat cap and a waistcoat.
