A 5in gauge model of Talyllyn Railway loco 'Dolgoch', belonging to one of dad's friends, sadly I didn't see it run on the local model engineering club's temporary track. 
Proper steam car, what a machine! 
Fire engine was operated by some really great blokes, the machine though still belongs to the Chester Fire Service! 
The elder tractor shown in the video has another go at tractor pulling, far more powerfull than some of the I/C tractors which failed at pulling it all the way, this did it without to much trouble.
That's what's in the bike, a friend on the railway has got one in a re-build of a WW1 Morse-Fairbanks Speeder, see vid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=qtDckhbm_dA , which ecouraged him to buy a Douglas bike frame, and he's currrently building one similar. |
