Little Casterton Working Weekend 2012

[Ian Comley]

Pictures in my album of the same name on here include some of the early tractors and combines, but here is the steam contingent.

If you are offended by non-steam on here look away now! - just a few of the very early tractors. I'd be interested to know about the 'carriage' which wasn't apparent in the exhibit list.

Thanks for the great pictures Ian. We had a great weekend as always, nice to meet some TTers too.

Here's a few pictures

Hi Ian

It's a French-built Millot self-moving saw (autoscie), which was later converted to carry passengers from what I recall. There was an article about it in Old Tractor magazine a few years back when Stuart Gibbard was still editing it. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it came out of the Schlumpf collection in France when it was sold off.

All the best

It was indeed part of the Schlumpf collection.
