In the Birmingham Science Museum, Collection Museum of Science & Technology, Birmingham Resident at Midland Railway Centre Ripley Seen at Isle of Anglesey Vintage Rally 2010 Preserved machines built by Aveling and PorterĪt Sheffield Steam and Vintage Rally 2009 Please add any known machine details to the list below. These Leviathans of steel pre-date the great London train sheds of St Pancras railway station, King's Cross and Paddington railway station at Paddington -traditionally understood to be the be the oldest and largest steel framed structures of the time. Aveling-Barford is now part of the Thomson group of companies, which also includes Moxy articulated dump trucks.Īnother example of Aveling & Porters engineering skills can be seen in the massive covered slips at Chatham Dockyard. After World War II the company continued to make motor and steam rollers as well as expanding into other construction equipment. In 1934, Aveling & Porter combined with Barford & Perkins to form Aveling-Barford which continued to make steam and motor rollers. In 1932 AGE went into receivership, bringing down Aveling and Porter with it. Production of Aveling and Porter steam wagons was transferred to Richard Garrett & Sons. In 1919 Aveling and Porter joined the Agricultural & General Engineers ( AGE) combine. Aveling and Porter steam rollers were exported to Europe and as far afield as India and the USA. In partnership with Porter, the steam roller they produced in 1865 was tested in Hyde Park, London, Military Road, Chatham, Kent and at Star Hill in Rochester, Kent. 8548 Roller "Britannia" at Bromyard show 2008 In 1856 they produced the first steam plough.Īveling & Porter no. Aveling's interest in engineering led him to set up a business with his father-in-law producing and repairing agricultural machinery. His whistle is Caitlin's at a higher pitch.Thomas Aveling was born at Elm, Cambridgeshire, in 1824 and was apprenticed to a farmer where he had the opportunity to familiarise himself with the new steam-powered farm machinery of the time.Season 8 - Waddling Wilbert ( cameo) and Henry Gets the Coaches.Season 7 - Love for the Sea, Salty and the Small Engines, and Porter the Perfectionist.

Porter’s easy-going manner makes him very popular. Porter is not above engaging in a bit of friendly dockside banter himself, but when another engine is feeling low he can be very supportive. Porter is a kind and helpful character, with a good sense of self-confidence and does not worry about what other engines say about him, such as calling him a ‘camel’ because he has so many humps. He also gave Paxton some more diesel oil. In the eighteenth season, Porter joined in singing with the others at Brendam Docks. When Bill and Ben teased Harvey about "going fishing" and made fun of Porter's three domes, Porter helped Harvey see the positive side of being both a crane and an engine. Later, Porter helped arrange "The Flying Kipper" for James after he made Henry late the previous night.

Later, the Fat Controller told Salty that he was to work with Porter and that he was not going to be replaced. After some mishaps, Porter managed to stop Salty from having an accident, then using his sand domes to sand the rails after Salty accidentally spilt oil on them. When Porter arrived to help out, Salty was convinced that Porter had been sent to replace him. When Salty was experiencing engine trouble, Sir Topham Hatt brought Porter to Sodor to work at Brendam Docks while he arranged for Salty to be mended at the Sodor Dieselworks.
