great pictures!
any details on the portable in the first pic? |
That Foden in the last picture has changed somewhat since I last saw it!

A great do put on by the North Staffs club. The portable is a lovely thing with lots of original paint and lining.
Was really good to see the Calder's Foden. It's something else, a very nice job indeed. |
Probably the best do we've had in a long time, the three Fowler DNB's are equally splendid and well turned out, the Cheshire visitor was a great engine to see with it being a former a resident, and then what in my opinion is the restoration of the year, the Calder boys three ton Foden!!

Cracking photos. We had a really good turn out of engines. Luckily the weather was kind to us.
|
Great photographs, looks like just the sort of event I like best.
+1 on the Ransomes portable, really like that. |
The Foden is certainly a great transformation and a credit to the owners. What is the history of this engine?

Jack Crabtree got it and built it into a tractor of sorts using what I nderstood to be a Whitlow rear axle. Now restored more or less to as built condition |
The axcels were of a diesel Foden timber tractor with the engine mounted horizontally behind the cab.
|
The back one Chris, off a Whitlow. They (A Whitlow) had more or less the same front axle as a 6 tonner. So the front wasn't off one of them.
