Just because you can't buy them doesn't mean they don't exist

Oh yes and we'd have a side bet on how many teeth the 'boarder lost on impact with the ground - !
Ohh, I was such a wee sod back then - !
Steam engines are always external combustion. There is a boiler producing the steam that drives the vehicle, and the combustion is what heats the water in the boiler.

Not quite true.
There were fireless steam locomotives which used steam from a "reservoir" to provide the motive power.
Used in situations where the use of fire wouldn't have been safe.
Alex thanks for stating the obvious, something we all learnt about 5 years old. Now can you point me to this mythical external steamed engined car I can buy.
So what exactly was "mythical" about the ones you were pointed to above?
@Ming the Merciless I'm really not sure what point you are making
Yes they do
@Brandane linked to some you can buy. 🤷♂️
They are not external or did you miss that bit?
As I suggested. Excessively pedantic. And pointless with it.
You mean correct. It’s an important distinction.
