I guess there is a prototype for everything

You may remember a couple of years ago I posted some photos of E. L. Moore's HO scale outhouses. That's one up there. Well, they say there's a prototype for everything, and I guess that's true, because today while browsing the latest photos at Shorpy, I saw this.

 Who would have thought?

    Let's just hope it's not "occupied" when they make use of the wheel-portability feature.

      That sounds like an elevator pitch for a new Buster Keaton short film :-)

    If the outhouse sat higher on the axle you could use it as a bathing machine or a portable shepherd's hut - these were common features of the Victorian countrside and coast in Europe
