Skeyton Trosh 2018
This is a 'small but perfectly formed' event in north Norfolk, with the emphasis on local, engines, stalls and entertainment.
In case you're not familiar with the word 'trosh', here's a clue:- http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50762 The central attraction was 'Monty', a 1928 Marshall no. 83780. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50765 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50761 Monty is in beautiful condition, both externally and mechanically. It was a real pleasure to stand in the warmth of the engine and listen to the musical beat of the exhaust as the sheaves were fed into the drum. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50764 The wheat being threshed was an old, long strawed variety and the bunches will eventually be used for thatching. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50763 One man and his dog. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50772 There was also a very smart 1914 A&P GND tractor no. 8384 'Duke of Norfolk'. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50766 The Duke seen on a trundle round the farm roads. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50767 Another Marshall was this 1935 roller no. 87618. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50769 Wallis & Steevens no. 7801 'Wanda' of 1924. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50770 The final large engine was this roller conversion, 1930 Fowler no.18074. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50768 Not to be left out, and obviously enjoying themselves, were this miniature Burrell and one of the two Fodens present. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=50771 Lots of classic tractor ploughing and other activities, plus some of the best ever cake from the local scout troop.
