Finally after saying for 2 years I would be building one of these I got to it yesterday!
Another vehicle now finished for the Corfe Castle display, just need to alter the chimney stack once I get hold of the part needed in black.
Based on an Aveling & Porter, I'm pretty happy with the result.....really want to paint those spokes green though!
1925-built Aveling & Porter D-Class steam road roller 11145 "Ayesha", an 8-tonner registered TN 216, hauling a living/works van down the town street at Beamish Museum.
Despite appearances to the contrary the living van is almost brand new, having been carefully created in the appropriate style by "Ayesha"s owners.
The engine and living van both carry the name of the engine's original owners, CS Bunch Contractors.
The engine was at Beamish as part of the Steam Event of April 2022.

Pedler in the sun:
A stunning Wallis and Steevens 8 NHP general purpose agricultural engine shining brightly in the intense sun at the Ashby Steam Fair.
She was built in July 1914 and is engine no. 7248.
NM971 Hengist, an Aveling and Porter class BS road roller (works no. 8455, built in 1914), is pictured during a David Williams photo charter at Amberley Museum. [Pole, 4/6 sections (~5.4m)]
I used the pole here not only to see over the heads of other photographers, but so that I could stand further back to include the trailer (which then needed additional height).

A road roller (sometimes called a roller-compactor, or just roller) is a compactor-type engineering vehicle used to compact soil, gravel, concrete, or asphalt in the construction of roads and foundations. Similar rollers are used also at landfills or in agriculture.
Road rollers are frequently referred to as steamrollers, regardless of their method of propulsion.
Wallis & Steevens of Basingstoke, Hampshire, England produced agricultural equipment, traction engines and steam and diesel road rollers.
This roller was outside the 'Departure Lounge' which is a café situated on the outskirts of Alton in Hampshire on the Basingstoke road, set in the beautiful countryside. The café is also a Wedding venue and has been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of excellence.
This location is near the southern end of the A339, which is a 51-kilometre-long A road. It is the main road between Newbury in Berkshire and Alton in Hampshire. It also forms the eastern and northern parts of the Basingstoke Ring Road. Its most northern end eventually merges into the A34 north of Newbury just before meeting the M4 at J13 (Chieveley services). The section between the A34 and Newbury town centre was previously part of the A34. Most of the road has a 50 mph speed limit because it has many bends.
