I think it was on the Yesterday channel, they were advertising a
forthcoming new program, it seemed to be something engineering and
showed a steam tractor, fitted with tracks - tracks as you would find
on a tank. It suggested it would be on Tuesday evening, but I missed
noting the date. I checked yesterday evening and failed to find it.

Did anyone make a note of it please?

Currently there appear to be two programs on Engineering, Engineering the impossible but that seems to be about huge engineering projects e.g. the Panama canal, the other is Abandoned Engineering looking a relics of long abandoned structures. You can download Yesterday episodes by going to the UKplay website. They have an old series featuring Fred Dibnah which has an episode on traction engines which again can be downloaded. Maybe the ad you saw was to say they were repeating it again?

Thanks, but no - it was none of those. It said it was a brand new
series.

Impossible engineering IS a new series or was last night.

You can make a viewers enquiry on their website, just be aware that "new" may only apply to that particular channel but may be an old program previously broadcast on another channel. A lot of what UKplay broadcasts falls into that latter category.

looked more like a half-track with front wheels to me ...
