| - Steam Roller is the 12th episode of the 4th season. In the US, it first aired on Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales in 1996.
- A steamroller (or steam roller) is a form of road roller – a type of heavy construction machinery used for flateneng/compacting surfaces, such as roads or airfields – that is powered by a steam engine. The levelling/flattening action is achieved through a combination of the size and weight of the vehicle and the rolls: the smooth wheels and the large cylinder or drum fitted in place of normal road wheels with a treaded face. This article concentrates on steam-powered rollers; see road roller for a description of motor (eg diesel) rollers.
- The Steam Roller first debuted in the Hot Wheel lineup in 1974. By 1978, it ran out of "steam" and was quietly retired after just 4 years of use. It can be found released in the Flying Colors, Super Chromes, and Speedway Specials series. Although uncommon, the early redline versions can be found with "hybrid" wheels, such as in the above photo, with both capped rear redline wheels and straight-axle syle front wheels.

- The Steam Roller first debuted in the Hot Wheel lineup in 1974. By 1978, it ran out of "steam" and was quietly retired after just 4 years of use. It can be found released in the Flying Colors, Super Chromes, and Speedway Specials series. Although uncommon, the early redline versions can be found with "hybrid" wheels, such as in the above photo, with both capped rear redline wheels and straight-axle syle front wheels. Additionally, for both the white enamel redline version and the chrome blackwall/basic wheel version, versions with seven stars across the very front nose of the hood and the front wheel arches in a "U" shape are exceptionally rare and often go for two to three figures in completely mint condition.
- A steamroller (or steam roller) is a form of road roller – a type of heavy construction machinery used for flateneng/compacting surfaces, such as roads or airfields – that is powered by a steam engine. The levelling/flattening action is achieved through a combination of the size and weight of the vehicle and the rolls: the smooth wheels and the large cylinder or drum fitted in place of normal road wheels with a treaded face. The majority of steam rollers are outwardly similar to traction engines as many traction engine manufacturers later produced rollers based on their existing designs, and the patents owned by certain roller manufacturers tended to influence the general arrangements used by others. The key difference between the two vehicles is that on a roller the main roll replaces the front wheels and axle that would be fitted to a traction engine. In many parts of the world, the term steam roller is still used to refer to a road roller, regardless of the method of propulsion. This typically only applies to the largest examples (used for road-making). This article concentrates on steam-powered rollers; see road roller for a description of motor (eg diesel) rollers.
