South Cerney 2014

[TractionTime]

A few more photos from me this time featuring the full size steam at South Cerney 2014.

As we arrived the weather was a little bad for taking photos but thankfully as the day progressed it improved quite nicely. Unfortunately I think this also affected the numbers throught the gate

I do hope you enjoyed looking through these and if you did many more more from this event can be found here

As per all my other threads, if anyone would like a copy of an original image I've taken without any watermarks please send me a P.M.

had a super time at Cerney this year with a pleasant 20 mile run on thursday with the Garrett followed by three interesting days of mixed weather, which in all turned out to be a very relaxing and enjoyable event. already looking forward to next year.

Patrick Edwards recently restored Burrell agricultural


Richard Wilcox's Devenshire, foster and John Plaister's Marshall


highlight of the event was seeing the Ex Henton engine's back together and lined up in the order in which the engines were parked in the shed when they finished their last day of work.


engines lined up today with the current owners/crews


hope every one has a safe trip home and look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

Had a great weekend at SC, a little different to previous years perhaps & all seemed a bit quiter than usual on the Friday & Saturday day but more than made up for by Saturday evening & Sunday when the sun came out and everything came back to life. Commercial vehicles line up this year was fantastic, but the steam section was very goood too despite the issues with passes etc.

Mooched over to the (faintly terrifying) bar & adjacent (much more sane) beer tent Saturday night and the atmosphere was lovely- busy without being manic, and a nice selection of engines parked up and ticking over. No silliness, just people enjoying themselves- cracking stuff. My girlfriend took the opportunity to wave her camera around a bit, so thought I'd share a few of the results.







Adrian Shipton was kind enough to invite us for a run around the steam arena on Fowler 15813, the first time I've been on road steam in a long time and something I very much enjoyed- thanks again Adrian!

I dont think anyone knows who made it or how old it is, except that it is very. It belongs to the RLS chairman from what I remember having seen it before elsewhere.

i was told the portable dates from around 1850 ish and is a cambridge ?

The portable is listed in the Traction Engine Register as Unknown Makers No 1 for those who would like to mark it 'as seen'.

It does belong to the Road Locomotive Society Chairman. This is only the second time it has been seen in public.

It probably dates from 1840 - 1850 and must be the earliest portable in the UK.

William Cambridge from Market Lavington, near Devizes; and later of Bristol, made similar return flue engines. However some features on this engines are significantly different.

I am sure that any information would be gratefully received by the owner. It can be send to me to pass to him. Many thanks.
