Not quite Paul, that particular roller is fitted with a Fowler-Woods tar spraying apparatus, the thing behind is a Fowler-Woods Chipper, for laying chippings on the freshly laid tar.

That one is ex Robert Bridson & Co, then to Lloyd Jones Bros, to Tony Marchington, then to Mr Cox at his sale, and now you can see who owns it. Fathers engine had been known to pull it on occasion. Last time I saw it it still had Sentinel 8122's registration on the back. Oh and one last thing, its on Marshall wheels
