A few more pictures from the weekend, it wasn't just shiny Burrell's! A few pictures taken at the morning visit to Amberley Museum.

Marshall 79669 this is engine worked with Midhurst District Council until October 1983, making it one of the last commercially used rollers. Regularly seen at the Lord Mayors Show in central London with the Paviors Livery Company float:

Engine not in steam but part of the very extensive collection of road rolling equipment (the largest in the country I am told) was Aveling-Barford AG 758 a former John Crawley engine which went new to Cumberland County Council:

And Tasker 1396, an interesting engine which I have not seen for a long time. Originally used as a demonstrator by Taskers and sold in 1911 to Midland Rolling & Haulage Company, the current owner is the fourth generation of the family to own this engine so putting it in a very select group of engines still owned by the original operators family. 1396 was a common sight at West Midland rallies in the 60's & 70's. The present owners Grandfather preserved several other engines including Foden 848 which he donated to Birmingham Museum & Foden 1742 which was sold via auction a few years ago.
