Had a good day at this event. Spent a long time looking over a beautiful Foden Traction while wearing my Traction-Talk tee-shirt. I hoped that some members would have been around to meet and chat with, but non approached me.
Photos to follow.

As Chairman of The Durham Mining Museum (www.dmm.org.uk) I have a business contact who puts photos on coffee mugs and on glass chopping boards (several t-t members now have glass chopping boards showing their own engines and one has coffee mugs with photos of his children with traction engines). He also does good tee-shirts, but needs a minimum order from me for 6 shirts to keep postage costs down. The minimum order is for the shirts, not of one design - there can be 6 different designs in the minimum order from me. The shirts cost around £18 plus postage to you. What you get is the Traction-Talk emblem on the front with your username underneath and on the back a large print of your choice (I used my Avatar) plus "I am a member of Traction-Talk" and your username. Not only do you make yourself stand out (If that's what you want) but you also give free advertising for this great Forum. AS an alternative, you could always take your design to a silk-screen printer of shirts and get it done for yourself, but you would need to get an image of the T-T emblem and permission to use it..

Now the general line up.
    A nice looking Foden. Pity there was no-one to talk to about it!    A Burrell roller with a Burrell Scarifier from the Bressingham Collection was roaded to the event    A portable which is claimed to be the oldest Davy Paxman in the UK if not the world        A repatriated Burrell "Devonshire" Engine. Looks much bigger than the "Devonshire" I know up North    A nice friendly small event. I hope they did well. There seemed to be a good turn-over of visitors with a free bus service from the carparks.

Well spotted Anthony!
Yes Roy, I was standing by the back wheel of our Foden in one of your pictures. I didn't see you though, perhaps you should have asked around.... I'd have been more than pleased to talk with you! Great pictures Roy, and a first time out for my Fowler living van which travelled behind our Foden to & from the event, about 40-45 miles in total. A cracking little local do for us, only in it's second year, but has already 'ticked all the boxes' for us. Hope you enjoyed it.
