Welland 2019 Dyno test of Boadicea
McLaren Road Locomotive 1652, "Boadicea" on the Dyno until the belt developed a fault.
Watch the video to the end, stress no one was hurt!!. Welland Saturday, steam dyno engine test, McLaren Road Locomotive 1652, "Boadicea" 110bhp until the disaster. https://youtu.be/fMs2JWQ3auU Watch this, (better with speakers) near the end - lucky we were standing where we were. |

Back In the shed and all fixed today. If you use engines you will no doubt break them. A massive crowd of public enjoyed it on a rather damp day! In my opinion much more interesting than seeing a steam roller masquerading as a Traction engine on a Sawbench!

I wish I had gone on the Sunday for the better weather but I have to say that the dyno' show was worth the 150+ miles of travelling I did on the Saturday .
Shame that more engines didn't use the heavy haulage / play pen provided , later in the day it looked more than ideal for engine movement . Does anyone know the final figures for all the engines that took part ? Dave |

It was remarkable how the ground recovered overnight after the Saturday rain. |

Welland is my favourite Rally,
I was at the Dyno when Fowler ploughing engine "The Chief" was really working, when you see the load going through the belt, it does well to stay on. it's a reminder of how powerful these engines are. There's a clip on the Hockley Heath Facebook page-https://www.facebook.com/HockleyHeathSteam/ |
