Barton under Needwood
 
Called in on this rally at Barton Gate on my way back down South from my excursion to Masham. A nice old style rally well worth a visit. Very nice convertible Aveling out for the first time in 15 years I was told.

Part of the Graham Lee collection and kept at Statfold Barns. Private collection but railway is open on a few days a year, ticket only. There is an excellent road steam rally on third? Saturday in September every year, again ticket only. Check Statfold Barns Railway website for details.

The Aveling is gorgeous, the owner recently went to the trouble of replacing the conversion flange having to have a pattern made, rather than just replacing it with a normal chimney base.

It's also worth noting that it roaded over to the rally a distance of 21 miles, fresh out the box, it's first run out since being rebuilt.

That Aveling is just wonderful. As said absolutely superb.

Looking up the registration I see it is no 5065 built in 1902.

A class AR7 it says, not familiar with that one. Looks R10 sort of size?

Does the owner have the roller bits?

Edward.

the roller bits are not with the engine!

its a fantastic machine having done the first 21 miles on it in 15 years!!
