Pickering Sunday Quiz
 
I was going to ask why you thought Bryn was smiling but I'll tell you. He had been ill all week and had totally lost his voice. I heard one engine owner remark that it was the best commentary he had heard from Bryn in a long time. Note the brandy and coke and the oily rag he rubbed on his chest.

The second is a real quiz - Who had the brightest boots at the show?

The last one is a caption competition

Mr Whitwell's latest output I suspect.

Engine list here also suggests so, but gives no number, just classes it as a B5:

Not that I think it is, but could it be 7871?

I fancy that the third speed arrangement with the belled flywheel came later than any engine with a 78xx number , and that with that number it would be a B4 .

Do you think that the dynamo has been mounted sky high to keep the belt clear of the tank ?

How about this for the caption contest to get it started, a touchy subject for those of us finding glowing rocks on the grate instead of coal burning *teeth

"Engine crews were reportedly still looking for decent coal on Monday!!!!!!!"

Or

"Bloody pikeys will nick owt"

Clearly they don't, as that was left by some well meaning soul for us to burn. As you say, more clinker than i can remember, at least since Duncombe Park....

Bob, as odd as it sounds.....

The majority of 7871 is not owned by the same owner who owns its cylinder, he is different to the man who owns its crank (or at least will be IF he pays the bill (alledgedly)), and its flywheel is owned by another man alltogether.

As you can imagine, when 7871 surfaces, if it can really still be called 7871?, it will be interesting to see what it looks like.

The other question I have is did the 3 speed crank and flywheel in this come from the same source as 7871's cylinder?

Hard going is engine butchery!.
