Steam engine or traction engine (I know someone will put me right very quickly!). Maurice gave me steam traction engine, which I am happy to go with! And yet, steamroller is the correct term (thank you José Manuel!)

Oh wow - that is an old engine. I remember an old boss of mine in London, used to travel down to Cornwall to drive his old steamroller. Boy did it make a noise going along the roads. There used to be fairs showing off the old steam engines. Fabulous to see them.
