Sheffield Steam & Vintage Rally
 

Nice day at North Anston today , I have not been here for a couple of years mainly because of the weather .
Good selection of engines today with McLaren 1421 out again , Fowler 15462 looking impressive along with Fowler 8712 , a favourite of mine.
Ruston & Hornsby 122300 is new to me and well it looks , another that I saw for the first time is Fowler 11700 an engine with Australian history.
A good number of rollers were also there Aveling & Porter 8506 and 2031 as was Fowler 15981 and 17501 together with Wallis & Steevens advance 8058 .
George White 1198 could also be seen .
Not to forget Fowler 14893 which I came across last year at Harewood looking like it's nearing completion of restoration work.

I will send some photo's to Photobucket when I have sorted them all.

Really good little rally , highly recommended .

Forgot to mention Fowler 14375 seen doing winching demonstration and Aveling & Porter 8754.

One or two as promised.

Glad to see and hear that John is back out again with Captain Scott and its also nice to see that dispite the rumour I got told, the compound Ruston is still in the UK! Hopefully see them later in the season!

I have not seen the Ruston before , looked well as it was driven around the show field and playpen area set aside for any engine to use .
The A&P roller 2031 "English Rose" was new to me as well , oldest Aveling I have come across to date.
Really good rally given it's size .thumbsup
