Default A Traction Engine Gathering

Bressingham Steam Museum held a 'Gathering' over 26th/27th June, which gave some of the local 'usual suspects' their first opportunity to get together since the dim and distant 'pre covid' days.

Here we have Ruston & Hornsby 'Oliver' getting together with Fowell 'Percy' and Robey Showman's Tractor 'Bathsheba', with the unique Young's portable in the background.


Here is 'Bathsheba' getting some attention.


Variations on a theme, Garrett Tractors 'Agathis', 'Empress' and 'Bunty'.


'Agathis' is strictly wood burning, hence the logs.


The Youngs of Diss portable was belted to a Marshall drum. For complete authenticity, there were rats in the trailer load of last year's wheat, but they were too quick for my camera.


The Youngs again. Looking very smart after it's recent restoration.


Another unique portable, the Burrell DCC that lives at Bressingham. (Drivers seem to be well looked after here.)


Burrell roller 'Buster', complete with scarifier.


'Percy' off for a trundle.


'Percy' again, in the more picturesque part of the grounds.


'Empress', having trundled.


There were a hand full of miniatures as well, including this handsome MacLaren, on its first public outing since changing hands.


And this lovely Burrell, on its first public outing since completion.


Bressingham also has a number of stationary engines, including this very pretty beam engine- which was not stationary at the time.


It was really good to meet people again and see engines in steam. Thanks to all who were there.
Bill.

Planned that wrong! I was up staying at the daughters beginning of the week and we visited Tuesday, first time for many years. Should have gone this weekend instead lol.

We went on the Sunday and I have posted some not not very different pictures.

Would've loved to go, but made a deal with someone which means I won't be going to any more rallies until after my second covid-19 Vaccine in August
