From what age is this safe for a child to play with?

I would say 14 years old but the instructions DO SAY to be used under Adult Supervision in which case I suggest 6 years old.

Do they come with the rubber tyres ?

Yes it is fitted with rubber tyres.

Yes. There is a lever on the piston that is moved forward for that direction and pulled back to reverse. On the photo of the steam traction engine it is on the left and above the brass piston.

Excellent steam Traction engine

Package arrived well padded and safe. This is a beautiful steam engine, with fine details. I had a Mamod steam roller 50 years ago, this takes me back to my childhood. I've not got her to steam up yet so I can't really say about how it runs, content to admire it.

Perfect gift.

Great fun for a 62 year old boy. The fuel tablets seem to heat it up to running temperature faster than the old version that used meths.
