a hill with a house on it. In the yard withing the house you will see a rook of slowly rotting ploughing tackle.

There is a museum mostly full of stationary type steam engines, but also a odd little portable (by J T Marshall), a good green K7 ploughing engine with a roof sometimes seen in steam, also a bad one with bits missing in the museum.

Still worth supporting, as the sword hangs over it...

Amongst a dozen or so other fine engines theres always one of only a few chances a year to catch a glimpse of this beauty!

Take cover in Nottingham 4 engines are roading in on Friday , and the Fowler plougher was new to Nottingham corporation and worked on there sewerage farm at Stoke Bardolph , the englne sheds are still there .

15 engines due I am told

The ones I know of are Fowler BB1, Fowler 14HP single, Ruston 7HP, Tiger Tractor, Clayton 7HP not sure who the other ten are but a road train of four engines on Friday will cause a stir for those not glued to the box on London based events..........

You forgot the Rumour millers engine!

Which way are they coming into the city and when? roads should be quiet in the morning at least! My little girl wants to watch the wedding but I know that she will be more impressed with seeing the engines on the road!

just listen for the clatter and rattling of that old ruston or just look for the green smoke lol

We will be there. First outing in three years for our old girl, Marshall S type 78572.

ThAtS not a very nice thing to say ,*teeth:p:mad:*teeth*cry:mad::p:mad::p;):(:D:D:D:D

Now the route the engines are taking is - Ilkeston ,Trowell, Ballon Woods ,wollaton , Priory island ,Q M C ,Crown island ,and into Wollaton Park .Run could start about 10.30 ..11.00 ish remember one engine is not rubbered so follow wheel marks ..
4 engines - 2 Fowlers ,a Ruston , and a b , b, ,b ,b Burrell .

and S W im going to tell your dad about your remarks , and i hope your taco stays on drive all day .:p:p ....:D

And More... plus Miniatures.

Last few...

Damn...missed one.:o

Nick, I can actually here the thought process my Dad's having witnessing that pull with David's plougher and the soil going up the front wheel! "My paintwork! My Paintwork!" ;)

I remember at the time thinking 'thank god they are brand new wire ropes!!' pretty impressive!

Thats an evil bit of driving on the BB1

Evil - yes ; it is a good things Fowlers made them abuse proof .
