Hi Dave

didn't Fred Dibnah demolish a wall or gate post with his steam  engine
I think they don't have any brakes

Hi John

Yes, you're right, he did. Got it on a DVD somewhere. I think they do have brakes, 'cos on another (?) DVD he's scrounging some poplar, IIRC, for brake blocks.

To quote me, "Ouch"

They do have brakes, but steel tyres have little or no grip.
