A Memory of Barkingside.

I have happy memories of playing on the steam traction engine that was in the playground next to fencepiece road. I am trying to find out whether the engine got scrapped or still exists. But I dont t have any pictures of it or know it's name or code. Can anyone help. If so please em me thorpe.319atntlworld.com change the at to a @. Thanks. Dave Thorpe.

In reply about steam roller in Fairlop junior school playground it was known as sammy you had to be given a red band to play on it or you got a yellow band to go on the jungle Jim a climbing frame at other side of play ground , my brother remembers it steaming in and being cemented in place , as far as I know it is preserved I think it went to a collector in painters lane I was told at that premises it was sammy .
