Spring Steam-Up at the Long Shop Museum 2018
 

My first dose of 'public' steam for 2018, thanks to the Long Shop Museum in Leiston.
Three Garrett engines went for a trundle round the town.

The Museum's unique 'Suffolk Punch' tractor of 1919. A belated attempt to compete with I/C engined tractors. Officially named 'The Joker', but I prefer the colloquial 'Old Coming as it Went'.

It really needs a two man crew. Look where the regulator is and think about using it whilst steering!

Incidentally, excellent tea and cake for only £2.

Nice to see Joker back in steam. Is the tractor being restored now the roller and Joker are done?
