Warsop Benjo rammer.
Can these still be found in unrestored/derelict state?
I always fancied one as a curiosity but can't find any for sale. Anybody have one they might sell on? Cheers Carl. |
I don't, but have seen them from time to time. RRA AGM on Saturday, if I remember, I will ask. I can also put something on the RRA Facebook page and ask.

I been looking for months, but for s redtored one for someone. Not had any luck yet.

If you mean a Paddy's Pogo Stick , they were horrible dangerous gut busting things , and should be recycled to make Guinness barrells .

You mean one of these.
Quite fun to use but very tiring. Not for the timid...... http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=36362 |

Definitely a Benjo, it still has the transfer on it. Also the plate in the pic says Warsop.
They do make a very satisfying noise that is quite distinctive. If you heard one working as a kid, you recognise it immediately. Buzzy, I'll have to bring it to the Figgy Pie Wakes, soon squash a few....... |

While on the subject of free piston devices , there used to be free piston pile drivers , which I fancy used a diesel cycle . What puzzled me about these was that they had a very metallic clang to them . Was this from the contact with the steel pile , or was there a metal stop within the device itself ?
