The Great Dorset Steam Fair 2017
Stationary Engine
|January 2018
August 2017 saw the holding of the 49th Great Dorset Steam Fair, at Tarrant Hinton.
This was our 12th year in a row at the show, but after many years, this was the first time that we had actually exhibited in the stationary engine section. Five days of sitting on the engine line and camping in a distant camp site had always put us off the idea; however all I can say is that I am glad that we finally took the plunge.

Homelite Power Plant
I am sure that we all have certain shows, whether they are big events or little crank-ups, that we don’t want to miss; for me these include the two Marshalls Yard Engine and Tractor Crank-ups organised by Tony and Sylvia Haydon in aid of the Macmillan Cancer Support, a most worthy charity I think you will all agree.

Never Say 'No' To What's On Offer
"Would you like another engine just like yours”? How often do we hear that question whilst exhibiting at an event? Well that is what happened to Alan Fuller, a member of the Sussex & Kent Weald Stationary Engine Group, he overheard a conversation taking place just behind him; once the offer had been declined he spoke to the gentleman offering the engine.

Bamford AC2 Rescued From A Field
A few weeks ago the door bell rang at about 8 am, I looked to see who it was and found an old friend who I had not seen for a long time standing there. He told me that he had seen in a field near his home what looked to be an old engine and that if I was interested he could talk to the new land owner as he knew him very well.
