You are correct in that the hydraulic pump is for a trailer and provides excellent braking!

Whoop sorry about that saw the writing on the canopy and assumed - just goes to show how misinformed assumptions can get you into trouble.

Anyway talking of trouble makers and miscreants were in attendance - ie the Irresponsibles and Reprehensibles who insist on driving engines on the road clogging up the Queen's Highway

The big boys were not the only one playing out on the road and the rally field, a couple of us miniature owners were out too, albeit slightly later than the big boys to avoid getting squashed. There were still a couple of big uns left at the pub as you will see in one picture. It was our first time attending Banbury and we were there as part of the Steam Traction World gathering and it was only Blackbeard's second formal event in steam.

There was an interesting moment as we were on the climb heading to the pub when one traction engine coming the other way back from the pub was suddenly being overtaken by another one - heading straight for us Who was that engine driver?

Great event especially with the weather being so kind, scorchio!!

This unusual miniature Garrett crane engine was in attendance
