Sellindge Steam Special 2013

[5inchrail]

I have always had a soft spot for the Sellindge show although its had some terrible years when its been washed out. Today was blessed with some fantastic weather and the show was as good as ever. Not many full size engines but as always a good display of miniatures. I realised today while talking to one of my lads i've been going to this show on & off for about 42 years. It was the first steam show I ever went to when I was 12 (to save you the bother i'm now 54) and its always had a bit of a special atmosphere for me...

I'd have to go with what Roger says as I don't know what it is. I took the picture because my two lads were fasinated with it.

I have just been scrolling through some past Old Glory's and found a picture of the engine from their 2009 event (I haven't got a scanner so cannot scan it in). The caption underneath reads "Stored on site awaiting its owner's decision is this German-built Henschel ploughing engine". So yes, its a European example.

Isn't this the one from Mali, a Heuke

May well be, maybe the image in Old Glory was wrongly captioned.
