Bressingham's 60th Anniversary 'Do' - continued
To add to Arfursteam's more organised record of the 60th anniversary 'Do' at Bressingham (Thanks Arfur), here a few extra pictures from Sunday's event. (Yes, I know some are similar to ones I've put on TT before, but we are still short of steam activity, so I hope you will bear with me.)
The unique Young's of Diss portable in action. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63590 The other end of the drum. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63591 A miniature Marshall getting ready to have a go. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63592 Queen Mary, the Burrell Museum's showman's engine, heading back to Thetford for a Heritage Open Days event. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63593 A miniature Fowler. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63594 One of my favourite engines. The Duchess, a SCC Burrell that used to live in the next village to me and is now owned by a namesake of mine. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63595 A&P 10 ton roller George from 1917. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63596 Two more miniatures. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63597 A different sort of road steam. Two magnificent Stanley steamers, one from 1910 and the other from the 1920s. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63598 The 'footplate' of the 1910 Stanley. Note the lamp on the steering column pointing at the water level gauge. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63599 A real oddity. A cut down loco for use in the restricted spaces of Becton gas works in East London. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63600 And finally - I'm told this was what we get with Russian coal. Pity good old Welsh steam coal is no longer politically acceptable. https://tractiontalkforum.com/pictur...ictureid=63601 Thanks to everyone who took an engine and to the museum. It was a really nice event. Bill. |
Last but one photo, is that the Flying Bufferbeam?
|
Proff - don't know about the name, but it sounds like a good one. My thought was, "well, I expect it's mother loves it".
Bill. |
And was the driver a dwarf ?

But it is an ex Beckton gasworks loco?

Some confusion here, the Flying Buffer Beam is Peckett 1900 at Quainton and was built for Courtaulds.

I was stunned at the size of the coal being used on the narrow gauge too, very small indeed. Last time I had a batch like that at work I refused to use it. When I had a footplate ride on Gwynedd, it was fired before the run and not touched at all on the way round, some 2 miles. To be fair to it, once it had draught on it and was working, the chimney was quite clean.

Where does the miniature Marshall gets its miniature straw from ?.
|
Is it genetically modified wheat?
