Getting pulled on a sledge looks like by engine ??

Saw them messing about a bit with this using a tractor during the set up phase and there was a hint about it being a new game.

Which engine is in the 2nd picture ?

Cheers

Yes , I noticed that . It looks like a 5 horse Marshall , uncommon , but a nice domestic size of engine .

They always have arena games including drum rolling. ??Marshall 52121?? I'll check later...

Yes Marshall 52121 IOW registered.

Steam surfing, the latest and greatest island attraction, gamely demonstrated by the rally “yellow shirts”.

A fab event as always

Thank you.
Regards
Carl.

Marshall
 

If my understanding is correct the Marshall was the first of the “Faithfull” type - ordered by a Mr Faithfull with a very short wheelbase for the island lanes and yards. There’s another in Ireland and one in Suffolk.
