Ashton under Lyne Corporation Transport. : Reg No. YTE 826; running as their Fleet No. 89. Parked on the road at Carlton Colville. (The yellow one in front is from Newcastle Transport - the livery is very similar to that of the later Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Executive)

DX 4602 viewed from the side. The Armstrong Whitworth steam roller at EATM. Also named "Stormer" The deep blue livery is stunning, and a welcome change from the greens of the more common Aveling & Porters, Marshalls, and Burrells.

Technical details for DX 4602. "Stormer" the EATM resident steam roller. Explanation for the details on the crest given in the right hand panel.

Front rolls of DX 4602, the EATM's resident Armstrong Whitworth steam roller. Judging by the muck on there, she's been working recently.

Livery / heraldic badge on the Armstrong Whitworth steam roller. The background colour of the roller is a deep shade of blue (Prussian blue ? to be checked)

Strictly speaking, having been built in the early* 1950s, Sheffield 513 is a little late in period for EATM, but fits in here better than she does at her home in Beamish, as the town there is set in 1913-ish. {*513 is one of a build of 35 double deck trams constructed between 1950-1952 by Charles Roberts & Co. of Wakefield.}

1916 Thorneycraft "sided" lorry (petrol). The regular driver of this vehicle has recently decided against taking it out on normal roads, because modern drivers seem unaware just how long this lorry takes to stop and insist on cutting it up at junctions.

Red telephone box, with separate phone and cash box (first used in 1925, and began to be phased out in the late 1950s) The Button A and Button B payphones, connected callers via an operator on insertion of the call fee. The caller then pushed Button A to deposit the coins and make the connection. If a call could not be connected for some reason, or if there was no reply, Button B was pushed and all the coins were returned. During the 1960s the development of STD exchanges altered the cash requirements significantly and the design of payphones also changed.

CSP 802 - This 1938 Lacre is a road sweeper, has a petrol engine.

The problem of recycled / used dog food being deposited on pavements is not a new one !

Fordson tractor - the dumb buffers were for "shunting" in the depot (London Transport).
