Powering up the Hill!
Steaming enthusiastically up the steep Colliery Bank at Beamish Museum is 1925-built Aveling & Porter D-Class steam road roller No.11145 "Ayesha", an 8-tonner, UK registered TN 216.
Bringing up the rear is a 1922-built former 22cwt Ford Model-T Van, UK registered BF 4165. Since arriving at Beamish Museum in 2009, the van body has been removed and it has been converted to it's current state as a Crewe Tractor with WW1 UK military livery. These conversions were originally used by the British army on trench tramways during WW1. They were designed to be easily converted from road to rail use, and back again, as required.
