Steam Plough Club AGM - 13 April 2013
Steam Plough Club AGM
The Steam Plough Club had a great outing to the new Israel Newton premesis over the weekend. A most impressive facility, we were treated to a demonstration of a tube plate being pressed and there was so much to look at. There were 5 engines in steam who went on a run in the afternoon which took in the fearsome hill in the centre of Cromford. Fowler BB1 15441 was strategically parked so none of us missed the entrance: The newly imported Ruthemeyer steam roller was a real treat, unusual name but much of the design is similar to SCC Burrell rollers (from whom I understand they licensed the design): Ruston Hornsby 115100 was stone crushing for a change in the yard: A selection of photographs of the yard: The tube plate cooling in the press: Fowler 2528 heading out of the yard: Fowler 2528 & 15441 heading towards Cromford on the road: The engines on a water stop prior to climbing Cromford Hill: Standing outside Wirksworth Town Hall where the meeting was held was Fowler 14805: Thanks to everybody involved with organising the day.
