This exhibit was from the Blists Hill museum and is a Fred Parker Steam powered stone crusher dating from 1934

Thanks Ian. Some of mine, not easy picking through the thousands of visitors!

Great weekend at Onslow Park as per usual and the rain on Sunday night / Monday morning didn't dampen spirits. Unfortunately missed the Sentinel run on Saturday as well as Foremost bringing in the load from Welshpool. Highlight for me had to be the 2 Fowler AA ploughing engines on the John Fowler stand which I'd not seen before. That mellowed red / maroon paintwork was just superb. Hope they don't get painted up bright and sparkly.

Most engines have been admirably covered by others so I thought I'd post a few of the engines leaving last night along the muddy exit roads.

Does anyone have any video of the maroon plougher pulling the trucks off please?

I don't have any but there were quite a few videoing on Ipad / mobile phone thingys. Must admit it was a bit of a non event as the ploughing engine dragged the low loaders out without the slightest fuss. The only exciting bit was the agitated driver of a vehicle who was prevented by the ploughing from tailgating the vehicle in front in the queue to exit. Once the engine was out of the way the car was able to progress all of 25 yards to join the end of the queue again.
