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!)

In the Nuevos Ministerios gardens, Paseo de La Castellana, Madrid (open to the public but, as usual, no-one there!)

They still exist and are popular! Please see my reply to Rosa above, Jenny!
(Well they certainly were, much to my chagrin, in about 1994.)

Hi Andy

A very nice picture, and a very interesting piece of machinery.
I do agree with Stoneroad, it does look like an Aveling and Porter, but I am not an expert. I also note it is right hand drive, so maybe not French or Spanish..
The emblem on the front will tell you, if it is still there!!
I certainly remember the days when a steamroller like this would be used to lay tarmac on the road!

Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
Peter
