![[Knightly] Steam Roller](https://slm-assets.secondlife.com/assets/35066487/lightbox/MP_Roller_01.jpg?1713689170)
Based loosely on a Burrell agricultural traction engine. Originally these famous engines were manufactured by Charles Burrell and Sons at their St Nicholas Works in Thetford, Norfolk, England. The model has been further modified to become the staple of road repair and building, the "steam roller". Once owned by county councils and private companies.
No boiler certificate required for this reproduction. Crafted from scratch, a mesh with different levels of detail and detailed textures. Also included are 2 different texture themes for the engine; traditional green and also a rusty green, very weathered texture. The model is fully operational, allowing for one driver and a passenger. The SL vehicle characteristics have been tuned to try to replicate the full size traction engine with slow steering and minimal self alignment and two gears.
Valve gear and primary drive flywheel has been animated. A low lag mode allows you to disable this motion while the vehicle is in motion which can reduce the network & region server requirements. The engine can be fired without a driver sitting to demonstrate the animations.
The whistle & lights are fully functional and controllable by the driver with particle effects for the whistle and general smoke from the funnel. The canopy lighting can also be switched separately to the headlights.
The driver has two custom animations which will be automatically switched between while driving and there are 8 passenger options selectable by a dedicated passenger menu.
Standard security options (anyone, group, owner) will limit who can drive & change the settings of the engine.
For driving there are a couple of camera options. Firstly a fixed camera which always retains the same view. Alternatively there is a dynamic camera which changes position trying to follow the engine.

Team JInx Needed This One, too
We at Team JInx love stuff like this = this one is our third and we love it when i saw they had made the literal STEAM ROLLER hell yes right away as another happy customer here said, 'just look at it'
Very well done and happy returning customer
The price is really fair, I would definitely recommend this item to any one who likes steam machinery, build quality and prim count is excellent and drives really nice too, speaking as some one who has owned a real traction engine im impressed with working details, I bought the living van to go with this item and very impressed by just clicking the tow hitch you get a menu to auto link or de link the van to and from the engine a truly nice touch.
Extremally well done full 5 stars rating would buy again from this seller for sure.
Dude. Just look at it.
On my travels I came across gwainalot's in-world store where there are a number of these gorgeous traction engines on display. Immediately was blown away with their beauty and build quality. Digging a little deeper I found that the engine is full animated and, yes, drivable as well, and even capable of pulling trailers! Five minutes later I was a proud new owner of a Knightly Steam Roller and the experience has been wonderful so far. In terms of support, I had a few questions and Gwain got back to me with the answers very quickly, so no complaints there either. Thank you Gwain for bring this gorgeous traction engine into Second Life!
