A Garrett special, so the Garretts first



No sign of the roller Consuelo Allen unfortunately

And most of the others - I have some pics of the minatures which I can add in due course and there were a couple of others which I have not uploaded.

I had every intention of attending this event, but circumstances conspired against me. Thanks for pictures, shame the Long Shop roller never made it. Any reason given?

Some great kit there - many thanks for sharing the pics

Do you know if the machine on the right is part of The Long Shop's collection?

My reason for asking is that I have one, pretty much identical to that, and it would be useful to me to know who owns this one for reference purposes.

Thanks in advance.

The machine on the right in the photo above is a 1908 clover huller, Garrett works no. 12302, supplied to agents G Thurlow of Stowmarket. (From the show catalogue.) It is indeed part of the Long Shop collection.

That's great, thanks Bill. At least now I know where there is another, in case I need to make reference to a second machine. I was beginning to think that mine (no.15602) was the only one left..!

Now all I need to find is a threshing machine (like the one on the left) to go with it...

Here's a few of my pictures to add to Ian's excellent collection.

Anna Mercer, Curator of the Garrett Long Shop Museum.


Natal Taylor with 'Faith', the 1916 W&S Expansion engine he's owned since 1965.


The clover huller again, pulled by 1920 Tractor 'Empress'.


Garrett threshing drum, pulled 1925 Tractor 'Hot Favourite'.


Garrett 8 ton traction waggon of 1922, pulled by 1918 Showman's Tractor 'Invincible'.


The oldest Garrett engine in steam, 'Lucy' of 1902, pulling the Long Shop Museum's 1916 tractor 'Princess Marina' and a 10 nhp portable of 1928 returned from Chile.


Bruce Rice with his 4 ins Dodman SCC, talking to ex Dodman employee Colin Spink


Mark Vine lighting up the McLaren engine on his 1887 A&P roller 'Eileen'.


Finally, I can't resist a set of gallopers.

Lovely to see the Joker back out. I remember watching it ploughing many years ago. Must be at least 20 years since it was last out.
