Waiting for a facelift

As you know my new theme for June is rust and this steam roller was spotted at Richmond Vale, where a group of volunteers bring back to life old steam engines etc. Although this steam roller still has some colour and isn't completely rusted I think it is still in need of major repairs.

Great shot, nice find

[Annie D]

this one is just gorgeous Babs - so much character

[Jane Morley]

I think I prefer it like this rather than new! Super photo.

[Sam]

What an eye catcher! FAV

[Meredith McNay]

Wow Babs, what a great find. A beautiful image.

One of hubbys many loves, great find, hope it gets restored to its former glory :-)

[Kane Arlow]

It does look like it could do with a bit of a tune up.

[julia]

Looks very old but not so rusty .. it great repair..

[Peter]

Great capture Babs, love the way you placed the roller against the tree and slid the rails in position as a perfect lead in lol, lovely detail and colour its a great shot;)

[Angela Tavan]

certainly a very colourful relic! In some ways it would be a shame to repair it unless they can keep those colours!

[Diane]

Great find Babs, wonderful old steam roller.

[Lee]

They don't make 'em like they used to. It'll probably be admired for many years to come.

[Pat Knowles]

That would be a challenge Babs but so worth the effort.....would look magnificent revamped.....a wonderful machine.

[Deb]

This is a terrific find Babs! What an interesting old piece of equipment. I'm trying to figure out where the person would sit who is driving it.

[Paula W]

Super character, actually looks as though it's sinking into the ground!

[April]

Oh, this is so pretty. I love the colors and textures.

[Debbie]

great colours and focus!

[Kathie]

Great find. It's amazing these were the original colours of the roller. Very colourful

[Rachel]

What a great steam roller. I hope they keep the original colours.

I think it will be like this for some time to come as there are loads of projects in need of repair at Richmond Vale.
Glad you were impressed with the way I positioned it Peter and getting those rails in the right place was a devil of a job ha ha. Think I need physio now.

[Angela]

Another one well spotted!

[Laurie F]

great find

[Lois]

Colorful steam roller! It will be a beauty when it's restored!
