 |
|
I thought I would give this model a steam today - I have had this example for a while but never steamed it, so that had to be put right!
I have taken a few videos and stills, I dont think we have had a N&B roller on here running. One mod - changed the lamp for a meths black base type - early rollers had no tow hooks!

Geeze that one moves, stay away from school zones or you will get a speeding ticket. 
Is that an elestic band fitted to the back wheel for extra grip on the tiles?
You can't complain about how that runs that for sure.

Yes it is Tony - it slips like mad - esp. with a camera in the wagon! |

How does your conscience cope, must be a good account from the money they make from strategically placing cameras to maximise income

Nice one Mike
There's no mistaking the sound of those aluminium rollers, and as for the speed, yes typical SR1

My SR1A hasn't run for a while, as I don't have enough meths! Plus I don't want to run her on surfaces that could damage her rollers, as they are nice and shiny

Nothing beats a little SR1 in steam, so much charm, character, SPEED!  everything about them kicks arse!
What a fantastic machine Mike! they don't half shift!
Looks to be in good condition too!

Great machines MM, I forgot how fast they were, once I put the rubber band on the wheel it pulled the wagon with the camera in it very easily indeed. |

The floor in my kitchen is lino, so you do not get the same amplification as your tiles. But where the join has opened in the lino that gives the usual clatter, or MUSIC.
