A small, friendly, one day event in a picturesque corner of Norfolk last weekend. Four full sized road steam vehicles and a handful of miniatures plus a large number of old tractors and a small number of other interesting machinery.
This A&P roller is just coming to the end of a rebuild and must be the quietest running one I have ever heard, thanks to work by local 'heritage engineer' Steve Barraclough. [IMG]http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=27361[/IMG] At some point it was re-rolled by John Allen. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=27362 A Marshall roller was enjoying the sunshine. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=27363 Whilst a Wallis & Steevens engine was actually doing some work. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=27366 Also on display was 'Typhoo', the ERF six-wheeler fitted with the boiler and engine from a Sentinel shunting loco. It has been known to terrorise local traffic with speeds of up to 60 mph. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=27364 This is Typhoo's engine, the boiler and driver's seat can just be made out in the background. http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=27365 |
Looks to have been a nice event Bill, and you got lucky with the weather as well!

That is a real top job on the Aveling roller, great to see it in steam. This was the engine which had been converted to diesel many years ago (by Allens?) and was a total derelict, basically a knackered boiler on rolls and with a tender and some gears.
