Forncett Steam Museum Model Engineers' Day

[The Idle Fellow]

This was a great day. (I admit to being biased.) I'm just doing a quick post to encourage others to add more photos, as I will do too when I've caught up on sleep.
Here's a 12 ins to the foot A&P Tractor, no. 7898 of 1913.

And here's the grin that comes from the first outing after purchase 3 days ago.

You really must sort out the date on your camera Bill!!

[The Idle Fellow]

Here's a few more from Forncett. (Sorry about the date on the photos. I thought I'd fixed it.)
Andrew Godwin's Burrell in a sylvan setting.

Unless someone else beats me to it, I'll post some photos of the other exhibits later.

Such a shame I had to be away at University when this event took place! I had a sneaking suspicion of the new owner of that lovely Aveling tractor when i saw some photos of it on facebook outside my local! Congratulations to the owner, a lovely engine!

Lucky man - that's a corker of an engine with great history.

Thanks for the link to the other photos Jason B. Before the whole thing becomes history, here's a few of my pictures of the models.

Photographed through a perspex case, but you can't fail to admire the workmanship in this Corliss valved mill engine.

How many engines per square foot? 1879 beam engine from Hopwas, Staffordshire, in the background.
