Lincoln Steam - 20 August 2011 - Traction-Talk

Steam Scenes · #1 Post / In Thread 20th August 2011, 07:24 PM

A small selection of pictures that I took today at Lincoln. Over 100 engines listed in the programme but there were a few no-shows, however at least 5 that I'd never seen on a rally field before, including Garrett 32048 Lady Raglan which was making it's first in steam rally appearance in a very long time, also 2 engines headed for the GDSF exhibition tent's Burrell 2239 and the enormous Robey portable 49484 "Baby".

Some pictures, I'll try and add a few more later.

Somehow I missed seeing the Robey portable.

Star engine must be 'Supremacy'. There is some disagreement when it last appeared in public but it is around 40 years ago.

Superb selection of steam exhibits and one or two that I've not seen before .
The Robey portable is BIG to say the least , how many horses would be needed to shift that back in the day .

One day is not enough especially when the weather is nice .

Cock of the North managed it back from Alnwick, using it as a water bowser!...

It was good to see 'Lady Raglan' out and in steam.

Clearly a lot of work has been done over the last 12 months or so. Last year at Joe Powell's sale, although complete, it was obvious it would take a lot of hard work to make it steamable once again.

Could this be the longest restoration project? I think Joe started in the 1960's.
