NB on Fri 18 June @ 5am, I looked up the net and got model identification numbers, prices;
http://www.modelenthusiasts.com/STEAM-ROLLER-SR1A-pr-22.html
This is our bestseller. It represents the heart of Mamod. A simple design, of sturdy construction, a historic heritage, a realistic appearance and a great collectors model. Without one of these, you don't know you're born! And do you see the price..... you can't buy at this price in many places (if any). Go on, treat your grandson!
STEAM ROLLER (SR1A) #22
This is a steamroller variant of the TE1A, using the same boiler, burner box and engine as the TE1A. It has larger, solid rear wheels with a front roller carried on an extended front frame. This model is not fitted with a canopy. It has the same colour scheme as the traction engine model.
