Default Roller wanted

I am looking to get back into steam after a number of years without an engine.
I would prefer a roller ready to rally but anything would be considered.
I have cash waiting for the right engine, I would prefer a Marshall Or Burrell but again anything considered.

Please private message me or Phone 01793 764224.

Steve

Roller still wanted.
Just to add to the mix, I also have a 45ft 8 year old narrow boat that I would be willing to part exchange or again cash waiting.
If you would like details again please PM me.

Steve

There looks to be a nice Marshall for sale on Berry Brookshttp://www.berrybrooksteam.co.uk/for...l-size-engines
I don't know anything about it, but the price seems ok

As for a Burrell, you may be waiting for some time I would think. But if you can wait, it will be worth it

I think the Marshall roller has been sold and is now in Cheshire.

Hi. The Marshall Roller that was on Berribrook was owned by a couple on the island. Very pretty but under the paint there is work to be done in the near future. I used to take it out when Den Phillips here on the island owned it and a new box will be reqiured soon. Yes it is sold now and gone up country.

Keith

Is it true its down to 140PSI?

I know top gear is a fair bit lower than mine, but I bet it barely pulls itself along

Default Tom Gregory's Marshall was worn out in 1962.

The little Marshall roller recently sold on Berribrook was worn out in 1962. It wasnt any better in about 1965 when i drove it a bit at Appleford rally. The reverser could be mounted in a number of places, some better than others. Wouldnt steam worth a damn, wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding. Tom spent ages trying to sell her, eventually got 140 pounds, which paid for a MUCH better replacement( A Fowler, from the same scrap yard). Tom died suddenly before getting the Fowler out to work or play. Regards David Powell.
