Default Leigh Arms Steam Party

The 40th Hollybush Steam Party was held at the Leigh Arms this weekend. (dont ask!)

Superb do, good company and good fun.

16 full size engines, several miniatures and a load of steam boats plus other assorted tackle.

No doubt some photos will appear in due course.


From memory:


Basil's Aveling 6 Tonner
Sams Boys Burrell Roller
Ray Pearsons F Type Rusty Nuts
Fowler Roller Navigator
Wallis Advance Chipchase
Bostocks Fowler TE
The Shiny Burrell
Metcalfes Clayton TE
George Coles' Clayton TE
Alan Thwaites Ruston Tractor (thanks for the drive!)
Foster TE
Julian Staffords Aveling Rosetta
Platemakers Sentinel S6 Tipper
The Bridson Burrell Road Loco
Max Cowap's unique John Collings
Barber's Burrell SCC Stanley Monarch (stranded on the low loader !)

The steam tug Kerne was moored on the River Weaver also, along with all sorts of working boats too!

A good time was had by all!

Thanks to all organisers.

I have some pictures but no engine details so between us we'll get there!! The miniature "Advance" is Steve Dakins latest project, one of only two in the country in four inch scale. Lee
