We took Foden 13266 to the Mellor Steam party held at the Myerscough Inn on the A59. This was the second year of this event, this year celebrating an 18th Birthday, Marshall Roller 79087 "Jane" which was recently purchased By Brian Wainright, was 90 years old. The Steam party involved a 5 mile road run up some very steep hills. All in all a good weekend. We went back via the Ribble Steam Railway in Preston as we were in search of a Steam roller, which we found although in pieces.

Setting off on the road run
Marshall Jane arriving at the first pub stop
Another visitor was Burrell Laddie, only its second trip out after having a lot of work over winter including all new gears and bearings.
Foden 13266 parked up at Ribble Steam Railway. It was quite a large car park but we thought best to park next to the pile of coal
And posed next to a Standard gauge 0-6-0 Hawthorn Leslie
And we did manage to find the Steam Roller we were in search of, unknown to us it was under overhaul and boiler repairs. Aveling 4505 Fusileer
