Joan and the garage 20230703--410

Marshall steam-powered 8-ton road roller PX2690 Joan (built in 1925, works no. 79669), lettered for West Sussex County Council (as its no. 7), passes the H. D. Steele and Son Ltd. garage at Amberley Museum, during a David Williams photo charter. It was built for Midhurst Rural District Council, and transferred to West Sussex County Council in 1931; it has been in preservation since 1983, and is based at Amberley.

After a morning of sunny intervals, the clouds filled in at lunchtime. We set up less than one hundred yards from here, where a railway headshunt runs parallel with a road, with various road engines in turn alongside Peter and the quarry tipplers. The cloud thickened, and when the light rain began and the photographers who were still here sheltered under the trees, the loco crew decided to go for water. But when the rain stopped, the clouds suddenly broke and the next road engine we had waiting to park alongside the railway was quickly called forward for photos alongside the garage. Information boards were hastily moved out of the way (bar one which was fixed to the ground - and is in this shot!). I also managed a shot from slightly further back, with the whole of the garage, but the engine had moved forward (so obscuring part of the building), and there is a bright green tarpaulin in the background, so I prefer this one.
