Steampunk A-Z: N is for Neverwas Haul



The Neverwas Haul is a three story Victorian home on wheels - yes, it's a steampunk mobile home! I'm pretty sure if you are crusing in this its all about the journey, not about getting anywhere as I suspect it doesn't move very fast.

She was conceived in 2005 (and constructed in 2006) as an Explorers Club... that explores.

The Haul's crew consists of the Commander (Major Catastrophe) 2 drivers (1 steers, 1 throttles), motor man in the engine room, a lookout on the Observation Deck, and at least 2 walkers to keep folks from getting under the wheels of the Haul while it is moving.

The Neverwas Haul appears at certain events around America. She also has a Facebook page, where you can keep track of what she and her crew are up to.

  2. I'm a new convert to steampunk, so your theme is a real treat for me. I'll definitely be back.

    I don't know if you've been to Jay Noel's blog (jaynoel.com) but his theme is steampunk as well.
