John Haining published 2" scale drawings, if you are up for a lot of times by 3 and some patternmaking.

I wouldn't bother with the Haining designs - like all his stuff - very vague and full of mistakes.
Use full size and scale down.
Alan Davenport, pattern maker has built a 6" Aveling roller - the later pattern AD I think, single, slide valve. Not sure if it's quite finished, but nearly.

Or any 6” inch roller if it’s easier ??

6" rollers definitely yes - Mark Gardiner is doing a really very beautiful thing in the shape of a half size Burrell roller I believe. I seem to recall he has also done a Fowler Tiger tractor which as you probably know there were also roller versions of (as well as more recent conversions of some from rollers to tractors... but that's another conversation!). He is based Wales way I believe and goes by spottymolone on ebay selling whistles that he makes. He's also a member of various FB groups if you are on there. Very lovely and helpful chap, honestly.

That is one of the best models I have seen in a very long time. Not forgetting a certain ploughing engine the other side of the world.
