Steam roadroller.

[TRUCKER]

Just wondering if any one else seen the steam roller on its way in to wick .they was stopped at ulbster getting steam up. It was on the back of a low loader.

[TBH]

I would have loved to have seen that, engineering at it's beginning and finest quality.

Worked on the roads,for CCC, 50 years ago, we used to have one of these and a driver to match. What memories!! We were working on the road to Dounreay.

Can't remember if I dreamt this or not, but I've got a feeling someone said that was in Groats last night? About to start and 'End to End' possibly?? As I say, I'm not sure if thats right or not, but I've just got one of those niggly feelings........

At 5.30 this morning the traction engine (not a road roller) was chuffing it's way merrily south through Freswick.

And it was cracking on at a fair old pace!
