That tandem McLaren has got a 'look' only a mother could love.

Cheers Carl.

It's a new build. It is an exact replica of the 1906 steam tractors, built originally by Ruston of Lincoln, 4nhp SD Tractor, No.30472, Road Reg. WX17 0ZE, J.Buchan being the owner.

It looks & goes a bit better than with the previous owner methinks.

Hi Jim

Yes, Geoff M was telling me how impressed he was by the fact that it is now 'compounding'. Who is responsible for sorting it out?

Cheers Carl.

Dont think Ive ever seen the last engine before, the Aveling Conversion. Also the Aveling Roller in all black, any details on that one?

The black roller is 4842.

The conversion is 9212 and according to the programme has been converted since 2016.

4842 is not actually black. It is a very dark green, special order paint colour on the build sheet. Owned by Michael Goakes and has taken him a time to get it this far.
