Christmas at Steam Traction World

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without warm mince pies, mulled wine, novelty knitware and the festive feast which is Steam Traction World's video/presentation.

Shrouded in secrecy, this year has seen not hints, links or anything that could give the game away to the theme for 2014.

Who could forget the Bear and the Hare parody from last year, and the up tempo version of 'Walking in the Air' the year before, and well known Christmas songs played on er.. of all things - elastic bands the year before that? One thing is for certain, each year has got better and better.

From last years offering it was decided an earlier launch date for this Christmas, with an expected premiere aired on 8th November. Insiders say it could be launched to coincide with the X-Factor TV show on the Saturday during a segway between Dermot O'Leary and Simon Cowell. The X Factor itself is Hallowe'en week however we are sure there will be nothing spooky about the coincidence of Steam Traction World's launch during the popular TV show.

Dean Rogers, Director at Steam Traction World had this to say, "We learnt a lot last year with Bear and the Hare, and we knew we should try to launch this year earlier. The presentation will be on Steam Traction World's Youtube channel and we have included a few surprises that, we hope, everyone will enjoy. The theme? Well, we are keeping it under wraps until the launch but what I can say it will be instantly recognisable within the first few seconds."
