Steamfest Tasmania 2012.

[Foden Fan]

The annual March long weekend Steamfest is currently on. I went on the Sunday and took about 158 pics of anything i could get pics of.
Engines that were there were
Marshall 5, 7 and 8 nhp
Recently restored Ransome Sims and Jefferies 8nhp compound
10nhp single Robey( massive)
7nhp Foden compound
A Garret portable
7nhp single crank compound Burrell.

Anyway, here is a few pics.
The 10 nhp Robey first off

Yep that Robey is BIG. About 1912 is it.

[Foden Fan]

I think 1928 built.

Did Eric Howe have any of his collection on show?

[Foden Fan]

He had four, the two crimson Marshall's( 5nhp and the 7nhp compound), The yank(Buffalo Pitts) and the Hornsbyy Akroyd oil tractor.

Damien, Did you have a photo of the Foden and/or any details?

[Foden Fan]

I have a few pics of Mr Boons machine. Had my grandfather here today telling me about a Mr Cutts using this at Sassafras for many years, when i'm not sure. Its a 7nhp compound on springs built in 1912. Its about 1 year older than my grandfathers single cylinder Foden. I have steered this in 2009 at Steamfest, its not to bad.
As for pics, here ya go

Damian, This may seem a strange request, but was there a programme for the event showing details of the engines. If there was would it be possible to copy the relevant sections. This would be much appreciated.
