The return of the King! (and Cheshire steam fair)

[Fowlers are the best]

People may have noticed that I haven't been posting recently, but TT seems to have picked up and got much more interesting again and following a smashing Cheshire steam fair where I have taken some cracking pictures I have made friends with TT again.

It was pleasing to see Greg Barlow out with his Foden agriculteral engine 'King George V' again -




And although not steam, one of the highlights of the show was the return of Frank Lythgoe's 89 Key Marenghi organ -


Also owned by Frank Lythgoe but in the care of Phil and Giles Moston was the superb Foster agriculteral engine 'Winne' -


And also the Ex Frank Lythgoe soul surviving Foden showmans engine 'Prospector' in the care of Alan Atkinson -


Another superb engine was Wallis and Steevens agriculteral engine 'Panther' -


Nice to see Aveling and Porter 'Ophelia' in its new paint job (with Basil posing!) -


Our set up -


Simon Priestner's newly restored County tractor awaiting the new paint job -


Renown -


Burrell Gold medal tractor 'Little Dorothy' -


Tasker 'The Horses Friend' -


Clayton and Shuttleworth 'Elizabeth' -
