Somehow I missed seeing the Robey portable.
Star engine must be 'Supremacy'. There is some disagreement when it last appeared in public but it is around 40 years ago. |
Superb selection of steam exhibits and one or two that I've not seen before .
The Robey portable is BIG to say the least , how many horses would be needed to shift that back in the day .*think One day is not enough especially when the weather is nice . Dave |
Well done to Bob in getting Lady Reglan going after buying her last year.Full steam ahead now Bob.

another excelent Lincoln rally, we enjoyed it and so did my 3 year old grandson" Harry",, thanks to Dave, Helen, Hayley and Sophie Webster for taking Harry for a ride and he steered their Fowler, didnt half bring a tear to the eye.

Super day at Lincoln yesterday. Great parade of engine's some iv'e not seen before, looking forward to seeing them again and again.

It was good to see 'Lady Raglan' out and in steam.
Clearly a lot of work has been done over the last 12 months or so. Last year at Joe Powell's sale, although complete, it was obvious it would take a lot of hard work to make it steamable once again. Could this be the longest restoration project? I think Joe started in the 1960's. |
Thoroughly enjoyed my first weekend as an exhibitor, for those who enjoyed seeing Lady Raglan in steam for the first time, special thanks to the following who played a part in the retoration, Dave Ragsdale, Ted Middlemiss, Eddie Ralph (signwriter) but a extra special thank you to Matthew Sheldon and his late father Dave, without whose commitment and skills the project would have been an even longer restoration.

A few of the miniatures, I'm not sure if people are interested. Most are 4 inch though theres a couple of six inches and the B6 road loco is 3 inch.

Any more of Pete Gull's Marshall tractor anyone?
