Ah, memories. Got a friend who owns what appears to be exactly the same model 'roller' here in Australia. Have spend many fun days running it around Healesville, Victoria. Including a few runs to the pub. Though, his is a little louder on the footplate. Slightly worn gears and a Victorian Railways 5 chime whistle can make a lot of noise. Best way I've found to stop everyone in their tracks. Doesn't matter what expensive car you drive, you'll never turn heads like a steamroller! I'm the poor bugger on the 'strong arm' steering..... kzitem.info/news/bejne/sGOfupmtpZp7n34

@@J5TPT Yes it is good stuff and find it burns a bit easier than the Welsh anthracite which gets confused with the steam coal version which is softer. The Columbian House coal isn't too bad but quite smokey. The only thing is with the soft Welsh steam coal it does turn to dust easily. The ovoids have had mixed reviews but in my opinion can't beat good old natural coal as it just not quite there yet and not the same.
