On 3 October 1916 William Tritton, about to be knighted for developing the Mark I, proposed to the Tank Supply Department that a faster and cheaper tank, equipped with two engines like the Flying Elephant, should be built to exploit gaps that the heavier but slow tanks made, an idea that up till then had been largely neglected.

Previous " inline " SDV concepts, however, envisioned extensive use of Shuttle components such as the existing External Tank, or a " stretched " version thereof, as well as the Shuttle's existing main engines.

The Ares V will use stretched five or " five-point-five "- segment versions of the SRBs ; a new, larger tank using Shuttle External Tank construction and insulation technology ; and newer, cheaper expendable rocket engines ( the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne RS-68 engine, identical to those used on the Delta IV EELV ) located at the base of the new tank.

One of these engines, No. 55 Stepney, is best known as being the first locomotive to arrive at the Bluebell Railway, which was itself the first preserved standard gauge steam-operated passenger railway in the world when it opened in August 1960, and also for appearing in Stepney the " Bluebell " Engine, one of the books in the original Railway Series written by the Reverend W. Awdry which also gave birth to Thomas the Tank Engine.

He was involved in the design of London General's B-Type bus, under Frank Searle and then George Green ; during World War I, he and Green worked on the Tank along with other gifted engineers such as Walter Wilson, after the war he had moved to the United States and under Green had been chief designer for John Hertz ' Yellow Coach Company, one of the leading bus-builders in the States, Rackham, under Green's direction had evolved a range of fast, relatively light chassis with powerful engines and a trademark of frames gracefully swept with elegantly varying side-member depth, the Y and Z models also had off-set under-slung worm rear-axles and six-cylinder overhead-camshaft ( OHC ) petrol engines, OHC was not generally known in UK buses at the time and six-cylinder engines likewise.

While Chrysler's work with turbine engines never paid off in the retail automobile sector, the experiments proved fruitful with the incorporation of a Honeywell AGT1500 into a slightly different product, the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, developed in the late 1970s by Chrysler Defense ( which was later sold to General Dynamics ).

In the 1990s, Ted contributed to The Railway Stories by narrating audiobook adaptations of the books written by Christopher Awdry, featuring Thomas the Tank Engine and the other engines on the Island of Sodor.

Earlier fighting vehicles projects had employed steam power because petrol engines were not yet powerful enough ; the Steam Tank however used it for the main reason that it was meant to be a specialised flame thrower to attack pillboxes and the original design had this weapon driven by steam.
