Essex Steam

---

We currently own and operate two steam rollers, one steam traction engine and one diesel roller from our base in Maldon. The steam rollers are a Wallis & Steevens 8 Ton and an Aveling & Porter 8 Ton. The traction engine is undergoing major refurbishment, as it arrived in a dilapidated state.

Currently the Wallis is available for Steaming days, and you will find us at many of the local steam rallies. Our Steaming days can be ordered in the form of a gift voucher, which makes an ideal gift for men of any age, and of course many ladies also enjoy the thrill of steam. Dave got a voucher from his children for his birthday, and brought his mate Peter on one of our Steaming days recently. Here is a few pictures from the trip.

The Aveling roller is currently undergoing a refit, including some boiler work. The refit is being done at our own works, where we will be pleased to quote for any repairs and restoration for your engines

Please take a moment to register with us. We are hoping to do an occasional newsletter for members, and there will be opportunities to come and get involved in maintenance and servicing days.

You can get a good idea of what we do from the detailed photo sequences showing the sand-casting process and the Wallis steam-up routine which shows the detailed steaming-up sequence in preparation for your steam trip. The story of the rebuild of our Aveling tractor is being tracked here.
