Bressingham Miniature Steam August 2021
 

The Bressingham "Do" was the biggest steam event I've been to since - you know when. There was a full house of 40 miniatures plus a couple of visiting 12 ins to the foot engines. Pictures carefully selected on the basis of which came out best, so not comprehensive coverage.

There was quite a yard full.

Here's a 12 ins and a 6 ins Garrett tractor, plus the smallest engine on show - a 'Minnie'. (Which takes the most skill to drive?)

Some were pulling quite a load for their size.

This ploughing engine was a less usual, but marvellous, model. It is passing the visiting Fowell of the EATES chairman.

A small Marshall. Doesn't seem long since this would have been a really big model.

Different scales, different models - of the prototype - but both Fodens.

Nice to see the next generation of enginemen in action.

Tight squeeze to get them all into the ring.

Thank you to everyone concerned. It was a great day out.

Thanks for those excellent photographs. It is an event that I really must try to get to next year. I admire the tilting canaopy on that Burrell showman's engine too. My engine does not have such luxury and it is a real pain when oiling up.

It's quite surprising how many of those pictured are from the Steam Traction World factory.

Didn't even know it was on. Shame I missed this show.

Thanks Allbo for so diplomatically pointing out my mis-identification of the Burrell showman's next to the Fowler ploughing engine.

My 2" Fowler Showmans (usually at Bressingham, but missed this year as I am working overseas), also has the tilting canopy. Absolutely essential at that scale!
