Thought I better explain why I took some of photo's.
The fowler tractor cylinder I took to show the seperate exhaust from the Low pressure cylinder, the arrangement I assume allows for proper simpling in a similar fashion to the foden albeit with a seperate lever.
The ploughing engine "Sunset" had very low pressure on last pull of the day, it had stalled, the simpling valve was used but it then steam locked after a few turns, drains then opened and off she went.
Farmers Foundry Portable I took to show unusual 180 degree crank arangement, I had thought it was a duplex but turns out to be a compound.
Nice rally pity I couldn't spend more time there.
