NTET AGM 2013

[Steam Scenes]

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:






Aveling & Porter 12023, P Class tandem roller which went new to a buyer in Northern Ireland. Recently sold to the museum earlier in the year:




Sentinel 8945, which has been signwritten with Aberdeen Corporation livery, the original owners. This is the engine that was originally restored as a tractor by Barrack's in Aberdeen:




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:






A steam crane that was lifting timber in the woodyard:




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.











Thanks to the museum for preparing a set of notes about each engine which I have used in the info above.

And a thank you to the Searle family for an interesting visit and a couple of engines in steam.



And a chance to compare the two "Gigantic"s
