Nemeth Engineering Open Day & Vintage Gathering

[Mine Explorer]

Clear skies almost made the trek down the M6/M5 enjoyable, but the destination was certainly worth it. http://www.joenemethengineeringltd.com/

A nice relaxed gathering with a selection of exhibits to see in all the usual categories, including a display of radio controlled aircraft buzzing around the sky. There were two portable railways; the larger being 2ft gauge, whilst the smallest was 10-1/4" gauge.

In addition to these, it was also possible to see in the company's workshop at some of their current projects:

Before being accused of confusing this for a railway forum, there was of course also a nice selection of road steam engines as well:

I particularly liked the elderly Aveling roller, it making a nice change to see an Aveling in something other than shades of green!

There were even a number of T-Talk forum members wandering around to say hello to.

...But I can't help feeling it might be best not to enquire about what it was the owner of the poor tractor had done to annoy their fellow exhibitors!
