This roller was supplied to Winchcombe Rural District Council on 14 Feburary 1914. It passed to Gloucestershire County Council in 1934, and joined the superbly maintained fleet, being 'numbered 'DD' and 32-10. It was scrapped in 1954. Restoration started in the mid 70's and fifteen years later was steamed again. It is a 10 tons compound type, class BSD. It is believed to be the only roller fitted with an 'Allen' scarifier at Aveling's Rochester works.
