A glorious day there today,. A very tight site, so no movement other than the miniatures.

I've be going to steam events man and boy since 1967, and have photographed over 1500 engines, yet I still saw one I'd never seen before (Burrell 2770) at this event. Excellent!

Likewise Bob I had not photographed it before.

Looks like sale day at the auction!

Arthur,
Did you photograph any miniatures whilst there?

Apologies - might help if I had read on a bit further first!!
Simon

It was sold by Preston Services. They listed it as
"A rear sprung general purpose engine supplied new 1905, this Burrell has never been rallied and just been completely rebuilt to a very high standard throughout."
so that's probably why.

There are several pictures of Burrell 2770 here;-

Was that it's first outing with the new owners?

Yes I believe that was the case, this season is the first season of rallying - It's next event will be Stonham Barns, and then Strumpshaw. It's a fabulous engine, goes as well as it looks, and is certainly a welcome addition to the East Anglian scene.

Sorry Bob, only just looked at the computer since yesterday. I think it was the first 'public appearance' for 2770 - 'The Colonel'.

For some reason, Elijah's reply didn't show up till after I had posted my comment.
