Always a good turn out at Rushden, just a shame that the miniature engines where stuck out of the way again in the exhibitors camping field. I was there with my 4" Burrell working my racksaw

What's 545 UXV?

Is the Fowler (R3?) RL "Kingfisher" ?

Cheers Carl

Is the little black fowler a Hercules?
Kieran,

A good number of engines this year, better than ever, a good start to the season.

Mark.

It's a DH Class roller

The Ruston roller looks splendid with a new coat of paint!

Are "Burrell's banned from this show ?????? Nice selection of engines,

Steve

There's a couple of Wallis's in there Steve, what more do you want?

last year there was 2 full size Burrell engines attended. there was at least one booked in, but id did not make it.

Great photos, looks to have been a good show! Certainly unusual to not have any Burrell in attendance, but a nice selection of Allchins instead!

HO 6420 Is Kingfisher owned by Allen Eaton.

Many thanks.

Carl.

545 ivx
 

hi
sorry for the late reply.

the above engine is built on a 1040's bed for ml chassis. the power unit is a daihatsu 2 cylinder stoker unit from south america. i invested in a new boiler modelled on the 6" scale maclaren 10 nhp boiler. it is chain drive down to a 90 degree drive from a root harvester to the bed for 4 speed gear box. not everybody's cup of tea but i like it.
thanks for asking.

Thanks for the info

I like it.
I saw it at Rutland water too,

Cheers
