whats being restored Arthur??

What is the partly restored Ransomes traction?

Sorry Keith and Trystan

I can offer no information on the under restoration engine, someone said it was possibly a Ransomes. I had a good look over it every where including wheel hubs and no lettering/numbers anywhere. the only words was some foreign writing which looked like how to fill the boiler.

I have asked via the Bressingham Facebook page for information, if I get a reply I will post it on here.

Sorry lads that I cannot be of more help.

Arthur

I was told it was a Ransome's that had been converted to diesel and was being restored by a museum volunteer but sorry don't have a number for it .

would that be ransomes 23321 of 1911 ?

If it is, it used to look like this......

Was at Preston Services at the time of the photo.

That's the one, I believe it is the only 5nhp traction to survive? Owned and being restored by John Riley.

It's only a three shaft by the looks of it.

Yes it is

Just found this photo of Spider on internet today, sure it must be at Bressingham?

Now see, I'm in a terrible pickle over this one. Brilliant that it is being returned to its former glory, but what a lovely piece of agricultural development history.

Yes Alistair, Bressingham. Oliver Cromwell in back ground.. C.1970?

Edna Driscoll kept both her Burrell and her old Foster at Bressingham for a couple of years after the death of her husband Eric. Both engines were later sold.
