That's Aveling 1382 of 1889, which is owned by the Anglesey Vintage Equipment Society. Regards John |
Great set of photos David as always. I made the long trek up to the rally on Saturday too (450 mile round trip) and thoroughly enjoyed it, but haven't had a chance to download my photos yet. But I did spot someone on Saturday taking a real close-up of the smurf on the Fowler headstock - guess that must have been you then!!

The old Aveling is 2439. I think the response got tangled up with the Registration Number - EY 1382.

Had a great weekend. Thanks to all.
Brilliant cakes from David. And yes, Mr Bridson's private cake did survive intact!! |
Good to Meet you at last David, Fantastic weekend, and the sun came out on Sunday - it made the weekend even better!
Thanks to everyone involved in making it happen Ian |

Thank you David for taking time to visit us at Anglsey and taking the photographes. The Anglesey roller Reg is EY 1380 and not EY 1382 as the Register says
Thank you all for coming to our Rally |
My good self and Miss Boesing had a great time on Sunday, thanks to all who made the show happen, and a big thank you to David for the cake. :cool:
Looking in the mirror this morning i seem to have caught a bit of sun, first time i've been able to say that so far this year !. :) |
Yes, damn good weekend all round! Many thanks to the organisers and great to see so many miniature traction engines welcomed. Definitely the place to go if you love steam rollers too! The Anglesey Society make a big effort to welcome everyone and certainly know how to look after their exhibitors, other rallies out there could learn some useful lessons!!
As for Davids cake, well none made it over to the miniature compound! We were reliably told that it had been left in 'safe keeping' with Mr Seddon, whom I dont yet know by sight or traction, so presumably it was guzzled by the full size!!!!!!!!!!!!*cry Our 4 inch made a very good impression on the rally I think, we managed to burst a trailer tyre crossing the engine paddock with a nice loud bang and we also managed to break the reversing lever just before sundays grand parade!! Hey ho early bath! Nice to meet Engine John with his stunning 6 inch Burrell RL and Ian Morris again with his stunning Ruston Tractor that runs like a sewing machine. We had a fab weekend! thumbsup Mark. |

Here are a few photos I took on the Saturday. I echo the comments so far posted about what an enjoyable event this was. Lovely setting, some nice vantage points on the field, and 3 engines on the road run in the evening added up to a very satisfying day for me. I have never been to a rally where rollers so totally outnumbered all the other steam vehicles but I for one certainly won't be complaining about that! Nice to see Fowler 19053 out, now called "Patricia B" but I will always think of her as "Crockett" as she was in the 1970s, but I was intrigued by the "19531" in her rear roll. Was this a Fowler part number, or is this roll off another roller?
|
The number may be the date that the wheel was cast?

What a great rally this is. As others have said a grea setting, very welcoming and lots of very friendly people.
A big thank you to the organisers for having us and we hope to return next year. The run to the pub on the Saturday night was great fun. All in all I would recommend this rally to anyone. If you haven't been put it in your diary for next year! John |

You have a chip on your shoulder !

Who let Dave play with photoshop.... great pictures again Dave, I hope to be there next year as I've now got my gears on the old engine so you never know. Sounds like James was driving his engine around on Sunday morning to break the level.
What I would really like to know where is my cake. See you all soon |
