Engine photograhed in Front of main building, looks like a compound Clayton CJ 7207,is it one with the inside valve gear but the eccentrics are on the outside and it has a toggle arrangement in the Trunk guide?

It's a Ruston and Hornsby according to the guide. These are the details, can supply the blurb too if of interest;

Ruston & Hornsby Type SC Traction Engine - Sadie, 7 NHP, built 1924, Works No 122300, Reg. No. CJ 7207

No

There was a small Burrell in the catalogue, no 145 but it didn't state GMT and I couldn't find it anyway.

Oh well, at least it was a good day out
Hi Dave, you should have come and said hello, was there with the Fowler since Thursday, checked some sizes on the stearing gear on the GMT 'Peter Pan'

Well I wouldn't say tucked away. She sat with the rest of the showmans. Haha

Great show
