Strumpshaw 2011
 

We made the long trip over to the South East for the first time and were not disappointed by our visit. Great selection of engines in a brilliant setting with the added bonus of the museum to wander around. It was nice to see so many different engines for the first time and well worth the journey. Here are a few pictures:

Yep, excellent weekend, our first as an exhibitor. The sound of showmans engine "Ex Mayor" chugging at full-bore running the fairground rides on Saturday night was brilliant, I have seen that engine at many rallies over the years and it's always worked hard, putting out 110v @ 400A gives the engine man plenty of work :)

Not so sure about the damn peacocks though :(

A few more photos of a great rally . Well done Paul wolbey and team.http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4071 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4070 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4069 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4068 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4067 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4066 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4065 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4064 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4063 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4062 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4070 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4069 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4068 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4067 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4066 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4065 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4064 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4063 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4053 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4070 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4052 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4051 http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...pictureid=4051

Strumpshaw 2011
 

Great Day out, Nice to see so many faces. Great Selection of engines.

What is the SCC under restoration - looks interesting?

No. 2239 of 1899

An import Mark?

Looks a pretty thing. And a nice size.

New to Cape Town and later exported to Aus, returning to the UK in 2007. 6NHP, 2 Speed Devonshire RL. Undergoing a total rebuild, owned by the Plumb Family in Norfolk who have the brown ex Varley Foden Colonial Wagon.

I think it is the only other Burrell I have seen with the same front wheels to ours. Now no nasty comments Mr 8/10 !:p

Doesn't Delarey/Spitfire have 'silly wheels' too?

P.S

I have always wondered if it should actually be de la Rey?, another Boer General.
