Foxfield Steam Railway Traction Engine party

[8_10 Brass Cleaner]

We went to this over the weekend, I think the event was really on Today. We drove over on saturday morning, and on to Klondyke this evening. Some photos for you to enjoy.


Mr Dakin had a pair of Paxman portables on site, this is the rusty one.


And this is the shiny one. Burning wood all day today he had no need to chop any wood, the bits too long for the rusty one were simply put in the shiny one.


Mr Williamsons Sentimentinel also roaded over on the Saturday


As did a rather splendid Fowler


Some others either came the weekend before or were already on site.




While some macho enginemen were swilling beer in the pub on the saturday evening


others were.... well I think you can guess!


Messrs Clarke roaded over on the Sunday


As did Messrs Jeffs in their splendid Albion. I was kindly invited to try out the seat, but took no pictures.


And another Savage for you boys to oggle. This one is soon to look as good as the last one seen on the trailer, it is already mechanically as nice and has been in service all summer.
