Yes it looks younger than 1893, but this engine has effectively had two lives. Originally built in 1893 as a 10 ton Road Roller, to an order by the Middleton Corporation for whom it provided 30 years service. It was then sold in 1923 to The Lancashire Road Rolling Company, joining their fleet after a major overhaul by Charles Price and Sons of Broadheath, Altrincham. It was employed in the Lancashire area, on road maintenance work, working until requisitioned by the RAF during the Second World War, employed laying runways. At the end of the war he was in a very sorry state, and Nicolsons scrap yard. Stripped of the front rolls he languished nose down in the dirt with rot setting in to the boiler and firebox.
That should have been the sorry end to the story, BUT ...
In 1992, it seems as a result of a bet he was rescued and restored, with the decision at the time to restore him as a steam tractor rather than a road roller as the front had now gone. A few owners later and now in the hands of Rob Houghton an in depth restoration took place. Many parts were re-engineered or renewed, the original cylinder was cracked and was replaced with a near identical one.
Vanguard has since passed to its current owners, Chris and Tsitsi Adamson of Heatley Heath, Lymm, Cheshire

The Road Roller is a bit redundant because all the roads are flat. Seen at Amberley Museum during a Timeline Events photo shoot.
I knew very little about these things before I started looking at building one. Hamm is a German company and they have been rpad rollers for more than a century. The HW 90 B is one of their heavier models, with weights of up to 12 tons.
Steaming up the colliery bank at Beamish Museum is Robey tandem road roller No.41593 of 1924, UK registered FE 6255.
Robey & Co. Ltd. was established in 1849 and based in Lincoln (UK). The company finally ceased trading as recently as 1988, although production of steam road vehicles had ceased many years before that.

An abandoned piece of construction equipment - a circa 1970s tarmac road roller machine, found near a disused quarry on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece. Possibly a DU-47 series, built in the former USSR. The vehicle still had a factory ID plaque in Cyrillic script. Nearby was a Volvo N12 tipper truck.

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.
She has a long and colourful history - being built for export to Turkey, however was collected from the docks prior to export due to the outbreak of WW1.
She went to work in the Swindon area after 1915
After Swindon, she spent time at Edwards Gravel pits in Fairford, where she was rescued for preservation by a gentleman called Sam Love.
After he passed away, she was sold at auction and ended up at Madders Yard in Andover.
She was sold and restored at Statfold (5 minutes up the road from me)

A rare example of a type of steam road roller which was never made in great numbers, and now very few survive. Here, this example is trundling through the roads of Beamish Museum on a wet day, much to the delight of the driver of the 1903 Oldsmobile Model-R Runabout in the background.
The engine is an Armstrong Whitworth 12-ton steam road roller, works No.11 "Albert" of 1923, UK registered PT 1034, and originally used by Bishop Auckland Urban District Council in NE England.

1956
Nel 1956 il re dell'Arabia Saudita Ibn al Saud decise di cambiare le sue auto da rappresentanza ed incaricò la Carrozzeria Ghia di realizzare due autovetture: una cabriolet da parata ed una berlina. La scelta ricadde sul telaio Mercedes-Benz 300c(w 186 IV), della serie soprannominata"Adenauer". Di queste due vetture si parla in un articolo di "Quattroruote" del maggio 1957, dal titolo “Il Re d'Arabia cambia auto”. Le due versioni erano bicolori, rosso medina con fascia avorio per la cabriolet e verde con fascia argento la berlina; differivano anche negli interni: la cabrio aveva interni in pelle color avorio con fascia superiore ed inferiore nera, la berlina interni tutto nero per il sedile anteriore e tutto avorio per quello posteriore. Successivamente, in Arabia il Re fece cambiare il colore delle vetture optando per una verniciatura completamente nera per la cabrio e grigio argento metallizzato, con fascia nera, per la berlina. Dopo l'utilizzo in Arabia la vettura viene trasferita, alla fine degli anni'60 in California. Tornò in Italia nel 2009, per essere sottoposta a un totale restauro nel 2010. Nel 2011 viene invitata alla seconda edizione dell’esclusivo concorso d'eleganza Uniques Special Ones di Firenze, dove la giuria le attribuì uno “Special Price". Dal punto di vista meccanico, la vettura mantiene lo schema della vettura di origine, con motore 6 cilindri in linea di 2996 cc e una potenza di 125 cv a 450o giri/min.
In 1956, Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud decided to change its drive to representation and commissioned Carrozzeria Ghia to build two cars: a convertible parade and a sedan. The choice fell on the Mercedes-Benz chassis 300c (W 186 IV), the series dubbed "Adenauer". Of these two cars is spoken in an article of "Quattroruote" of May 1957, entitled "The King of Saudi changing cars." The two versions were two-tone, red medina with ivory band for convertible and green with silver band the sedan; They differed in the interior: the convertible had leather interior ivory strap top and bottom black, the interior saloon all black for the front seat and all ivory for the rear. Subsequently, Saudi King did change the color of the cars by opting for a completely black paint for convertible and metallic silver gray, with black band, for the sedan. After using the car in Saudi it is transferred at the end of the 60s in California. He returned to Italy in 2009, to be subjected to a complete renovation in 2010. In 2011 she was invited to the second edition of the exclusive Uniques Special Ones concours d'elegance of Florence, where the jury attributed a "Special Price." From the point of mechanically, the car maintains the scheme of origin of the car, with the engine in the 6-cylinder 2996 cc and a power of 125 hp at 450th rev / min.

La FS 835 era una locomotiva da manovra usata dal 1906 al 1934. Progettata alla vigilia della nazionalizzazione delle ferrovie attuata dal governo Giolitti nel 1905, la locomotiva presentava diverse innovazioni volte a ridurne il prezzo di vendita ed a migliorarne le prestazioni in manovra.
Questa Locomotiva venne costruita da Breda tra il 1908 e il 1909.
