I hadn't been to this show for some time, and after Welland the day before, it rounded off the weekend nicely. A good mix of makes and types, and a few I'd not seen before. Liked the way they lined up in the arena on Sunday. Plenty of working exhibits as well.

Thanks to Duncan and the team. We had a great weekend, despite the unplanned trip home! All well and back in the shed.

Best.

Have we any information on programme No. 13 which appears to be under restoration.

Thanks in advance

Arthur

No 12470 type 'DT' of 1929. Allegedly used as a donor after returning from Australia about 2004. Only about 50% of the engine was original when I bought it in 2007. Suspicious bolt holes in the bottom of the smokebox revealed it was dispatched from Rochester in tractor format and converted to a roller using aussie-made rolls/forks/headstock etc. I've had to make both axles, turntable and all the wheels ( Andy Loader made the rims). The chimney base didn't arrive in time to be fitted but was on display. All the above to original A + P drawings. Supposedly based on standard D type roller but some dimensions defy the laws of physics. Bigger bores, stay tubes, axles. The front bracket is just so we can get it on the wagon.

Little Lady is looking superb after her renovation, it was many years ago that I enjoyed sitting on a trailer behind her at the Bygone Village in Flegburgh. Good Days!

Yeah , totally agree. Very smart!

Little lady does look amazing, feel very privileged that the Richards family choose the show to debut it. It had a steady stream of admirers all weekend. And was nice of them to bring the newly acquired Garrett as well

The front axle is one I sold MLB.

Jim

No. I made that from a solid billet and bridport foundry cast on the hubs with my pattern. In any case, the front axle is to a 'D' drawing, not L or M Type.
