abbey hill steam rally

[Steam Extravaganza]

First time at a rally for 'The Devster', and despite a few dribbles here and there seemed to behave very well. A great time was had by all. Good to catch up with Charlie and JR as well.

Nice job by all.

It looks like one thats either on holidays from or has been bought out of Eire.

D2(?) roller or convertable with wheels off a very old traction.

Looking around it Bob its a D2 compound. A later one though. The only resemblems of a DH, DNB or DNC is the flywheel. The brake which is not all there is on the 3rd shaft and the rear hitch is high on the tender, just like our D2. I looked around it all weekend and and I'm sure it is a D2. The owner is not sure about its history or its model. It's also on slide bars and not trunk guides.
