I'm thinking of everything that's got to be done before we road up to the event. It's not long when I think I have to fit in a trip to Sierra Leone before as well...

Sierra Leone, roading on strakes - I's say you'll need a nappy!

The Marshall & Trailer are making a return visit, looks to be shaping up to be one of the best yet. The Marshall was used during WW1 to haul supplies to the local T.A. camp amongst other things. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

The engine was supplied new in 1914, within a year a new set of rear wheels were supplied by Marshall's. I would guess that the second photo may be the earlier set, they have the outside of the T-ring removed for reasons unknown, I can't believe that they needed to reduce the width.. The other two photos are probably later and show the standard T-ring. The later set did not survive after the engine was running only as a roller for John Peter Jones. Someone said that they were probably used to reinforce a well capping.
