Default 'The Grand Henham Steam Rally'

There's been lots of reports of the big 'Do' in Middle England last weekend, so I thought I'd wave a flag for what was going on in the Far East. (Well quite near Lowestoft, which is as far east as you can get.)
We had several heavy rain showers but, once they stopped, activity continued.
Photos carefully selected - as being the best of the ones I took.

6 ton (7861) and 10 ton (7909) Wallis & Steevens Advance rollers consorting with a 10 ton Aveling (10126)
[IMG][/IMG]

The 10 ton Garrett roller (34265) from the Long Shop Museum.


Allchin (1527) and saw bench.


I never fail to be impressed with the might of a ploughing engine. Fowler AA7 'Cissie' (15236)


Burrell SCC threshing - rain coming, just look at that sky.


It soon brightened up again.


Another Burrell threshing (3249). The owner generously lent it to some friends to 'play with' at the rally.


A Marshall portable liberated from Chile.


I hope Natal Taylor won't mind me calling him one of the grand old men of steam in East Anglia. He has owned this Wallis Expansion Engine (7497) since 1965 and has brought it to 40 of the 43 Henham rallies. (More rain on the way.)


There was a good display of miniatures as well. Here's a 4 ins Burrell.


A very smart 4ins Fowler Road Loco.


A 4 ins Garrett agricultural.


Nice to see a miniature on a saw bench. This Burrell must be one of the hardest worked around, out and driving something nearly every weekend.


A 3 ins Burrell.


A Savage tractor.


'Master Potter', a half size model of Garrett 4CD 'Mister Potter'.


Finally, how the adventurous owner gets their engine into the trailer - just drive it.


Bill.

I decided not to go this year after last years abysmal turn out (Dad went on his own), something I am now very much regretting as every one I spoke to since said what a great show it was, with a new man in charge at the helm of the steam section, who is doing much to rebuild it and get engines back again, some who haven't been for many years some who have not been before.

Things are looking up again for what could possibly be the UK's most easterly steam engine rally?

We was going to old Warden on the Sunday but this didn't happen after they put on facebook that the site was full and closed to any more visitors.

Well spotted Elijah! My only other photo including the blue Foden is:-

It didn't appear in the programme and its registration no. is not listed in the Traction Engine Register.
Anyone else know anything about it?
Bill.

The Traction Engine Register gives the registration no. of 7926 as D 1396, not M 9602. Mind you, I know the TER isn't infallible - just like me!

The index at the back of the TER if you look up M 9602 says Foden 7926 although the main entry indeed says D 1396.

Steamscenes has M 9602 as well.

It was #18 in my programme.

There's a picture in my own report:

is it the foden that went through the ullman sale a few years back? If so it's a bitsa supposedly comprising an early wagon and a later one, hence confusion on numbers
