If you scroll down on this page, there are a couple of interesting photos of replica steam coaches of 1803 and 1833. The original of the former was built by Richard Trevithick. I think these are in Australia.

Both of these were built by Tom Brogden of the Steam Car Club of Great Britian, and are in the UK. The first one is a replica of a steam carriage built by Richard Trevithick in 1802; the second one is a replica of steam carriage built by Walter Hancock in 1833. Both are operational.

An operational replica of Trevithick's 1801 road locomotive was built by the Trevithick Association in 2001 for the 200th anniversary in Camborne, Cornwall, UK. All three are pictured on the Surviving World Steam Vehicle CD-ROM.
