2014 D.S.V.C. Steam and vintage rally Crathes, Banchory

Hi all

Crystal been out again and was gracious to take me along as well.



Live cargo. Atomentor's relation I think





Others

















And finally a night time shot. Well almost. Generating before heading to the beer tent.



Once I got to the bear tent. Belted up and ran for 10 minutes. Then a odd sound. Quick shutdown. Humm. The shaft in the dynamo has snapped!

Sunday ready to enter the ring.



I hope some one sends me pictures as Crystal managed a full pull at the tractor pulling event.

Oh.  

Friday evenings activity. Little bit of driving a steam locomotive.

Excellent pictures Lynn, looks like you had a lot of fun. Nice range of miniature engines there this year, I'm sorry I missed it... (working on big job at the village hall here!!)

Sad news re the generator shaft, is that the modified shaft from STW?

Regards,
Tony

Managed to find a picture of the Foden in the miniature tractor pulling event.  The sled has a 600kg weight that is moved forward by the driver on the back increasing the load dramatically the further you progress.  I managed about 50 yards or so whereas Lynn with her showman's managed a "Full Pull" (no pictures unfortunately).

Regards
Tom

Looks brilliant fun Tom.

Hi John
It was great fun and something different for the spectators.  I could have done with more steam, I was down to about 90psi when I started the pull.  It is alright for the tractor boys - full throttle and away they go!!
