Steam locomotives were also improved and attracted a great deal of attention by breaking world records in Germany and Britain. How-ever, experts were well aware that the traditional steam engine had reached the end of the road. Possible solutions were offered by a number of innovations such as single-axle drive systems powered by small steam engines.
