A model of the Wheeled Steam Tank with the correct Holt wheels is on Landships II - the resin ones are approximate but not accurate. No one ever photographed the front of the tank - all of the existing images show the rear of the tank with the double trailing wheels. The tank almost certainly wasn't armed with a howitzer - the original specification asked for a pair of machine guns only. A copy of the text of the original documents about the Steam Tank are at:
