A very wet and miserable January day gave me a chance to look back at previous pictures from my blog. This one is a steam engine which, among other uses, was used on compacting newly laid road surfaces. Various other models were used, with cables attached to pull ploughs across fields instead of using a horse and plough. Another use was to thrash the corn at harvest time. Being of an advanced age I remember them well.
