They are (wash my mouth out) standard on some companies railway locomotives and like you say- the ultimate.

Burrell 2948 Dreadnought was busy all day with the impressive threshing set.
the burrell 2693 was uncover in the afternoon and being filled with water.

as for the threashing set knackered would have been a better word to use.

as for 8827 see the discussion section.

What makes you say that? Looks a good drum to me, produces a good sample and probably sees more use in a year than an awful lot of others, and long may it continue! Some of the other stuff is getting a bit tired perhaps but the main tackle always seems to do a good job.

I mean the threshing tackle that works with Dreadnought, rather than the ancilliary stuff.

Sounds like a lesson learnt by someone!

Just pick something heavy up with it. Soon straighten them.

Any pics of the Green Marshall roller in the background in the first bent pic?.
