Roller Derby!

A fine assembly of 1920's vintage steam road rollers bunching together on the colliery yard at Beamish Museum apparently preparing for a mass roll!

 

On the left is 1925-built 10-ton Fowler road roller 16615 "Astonisher", registered UM 3296.

 

In the middle is 1925-built Aveling & Porter D-Class road roller 11145 "Ayesha", an 8-tonner registered TN 216.

 

On the right is 1922-built Aveling & Porter road roller 10346 "Buster" (formerly "Gladstone"), registered NO 5892.

 

These magnificent steam engines were at Beamish for the Steam Gala event in April 2023.
