GDSF 2018 - Scrapyard and others in restoration
As there have been a number of queries about the scrapyard area I thought it might be useful to post what I have. A number of the portables were different from what was listed in the programme and some I couldn't find a makers number on, so any help with these would be much appreciated.
Ian Aveling Ploughing Engine 6547 Allchin Road Loco 1441 from R to L Wallis 6NHP 7411,Fowler 11300,Fowler 7857 Marshall 10 ton S-Type 77551 Fowler Hercules tractor 17260 Kenmore Mclaren 682 ? Mclaren 851 6NHP from New Zealand |

Marshall 4NHP 36681 Italo-Svirrera portable R S & J 14382 Marshall 61781 Marshall - c/n? Marshall c/n? ? Hornsby c/n? Garrett c/n? L of the 3 is R S & J 21670 (not 21570 as in programme) |

The left of the 3 portables was Ransomes, Sims & Jeffries 6NHP Portable Engine No. 21570 as in programme assuming the makers plate on the back is correct (I took a close up photo of the plate for reference).
Looking at the engines at the far end from left to right am I right that you are saying they are: Marshall TE 37734 (that tallies with Preston services ad photo etc without front wheels) Allchin Road Loco 1441? Aveling Ploughing Engine 6547 (that tallies with Preston services ad photo etc) Fowler 7857? Fowler 11300? Wallis 7411 (have photo of the makers plate for that one) The ones with ? are ones where I didn't get details myself so would love confirmation as to their ID |

Now I can see the photos in the thread it has answered my question, so sorry for asking the obvious!
The Hornsby portable I think is the same one advertised on Preston's web site http://prestonservices.co.uk/item/ho...8nhp-portable/ No. 1531 looking at my photos and there's and comparing what can only be unique things such as defects round the edge of the smoke box door etc they are the same as far as I can tell |

The vertical boilered pumping engine was sold at the Philp sale in 1994(?). I was underbidder on the day. It looks like it has been untouched ever since.
A nice bit of kit, but the bottom of the boiler was goosed and the engine and pump were seized solid. Dazzla
