Default Newcomer on the pub run

There was a newcomer on the annual autumn lunch time run to 'The Railway' at Wymondham in mid Norfolk this year. Marshall no. 77973 'Aurora' has recently arrived in the county, after spending her life so far in Scotland. To the casual observer she looks like a road loco, but apparently Marshalls never used that description, referring to her as a 5 HP Compound 'S' Traction Engine.

She was stopped by a wedding party en route and asked to pose for the photos.


Negotiating the outskirts of Wymondham.


Made it, in company with established locals; 'Monarch' a Foden Road Loco and 'Margaret' an Aveling GND Tractor.


As ever, thanks for the entertainment.

Bill.
