A new Marshall to my eyes was there 46276 Pearl and it looks superb.
I always enjoy the 100 ton pull , quite a sight .
Very well organised show

Yes the 100 ton pull is certainly something we miss doing and the evening road run, glad everything went well! Certainly miss the show! Will have to go back at some point in the future!

Looks nice except the flywheel doesn't look quite right for that engine. I admit I don't know too much about Marshalls, but has that flywheel been 'dished' over the spokes, or am I just talking complete crap as usual?

Ignore me, just found quite a few more Marshall TE's with solid flywheels on Steam Scenes! Must take more interest in Marshall TE's!

Is this not the one kept at the East Lancs Railway(or was)? There's something unusual about her, I think she has three speeds, different for a agri. But then again I too may be talking crap, feel free to ignore me!

Yes it's a three speed and is/was from the ELR solid flywheel and sprung on the back axle , one of two made to this spec' this is the only survivor of the two apparently.
7 NHP at a boiler pressure of 140 PSI.
All this info' came from a display board on show with the engine along with it's history .
