Hi,

The roller is a one off, it was made to roll paths on a large undulating estate; hence the vertical boiler and precise steering.

Take care Tony.

Nice little bit of work there.

Glad to see the fellow still has a supple wrist after all that.

nice little steam roller, although the steering seemed quite precise (for a steam roller) it did require hundreds of revolutions to get the desired results. ;)

Hi,

Last weekend we were exhibiting at a garden model railway show at Llanfair in Mid-Wales, there was also a steam gala being held, which was at the preserved narrow gauge railway; where I met some friends and their toys.

I hope you enjoy. Take care Tony.
