part of the "steam line" - the line-up of full-size steamers. ranges from the two Sentinel S4 steam waggons to various traction engines. [details of those TE's tbc]

Item of some interest on the far right of this image. {1-23} Richard Hornsby & sons No.6759 'Sir John Williams' built in 1888 as an 8nhp "direct ploughing engine" and exported. returned from Tasmania in 1992, restored in Somerset before relocating to Easingwold. I don't recall seeing a Richard Hornsby full-size road steam vehicle previously. although it is in the 2022 rally handbook. note my visit last year was cut short by heavy rain ... [to the left are the two Sentinel S4 steam waggons, the 10t A&P 'Kathleen' and in the background is the Brayshaw showman's living van].

{1-22} Fowler No.6624, built 1891 {regno MA 5821} the works plate says "Steam Plough Works" - see dps[23] - Fowler No.6624 {2 of 2}

{1-28} Marshall No.87003 'Surprise' Built 1983, rated at 6 nhp, one of the last engines built by Marshall's of Gainsborough, owned and rallied by the same family for over 60 years.

This pair of Allchin traction engines are very smart. The closer one is "Lady Ann" regno BF 9723 [no other info] The further one {1-18} is "Lady Olivia" reg no BF 8047 [wks no 1342, built in 1907 & exported to Australia, returned in near derelict condition in 2012, returned to steam in 2016] {note - the rally handbook has 1-19 as Allchin "Our Mary" wksno 1377 no build date but with similar export & repatriation history, being returned to steam in 2022} The green engine on the far side is Burrell 'The Maori'

{1-32} Burrell "The Maori" no.2696 Built 1902, exported to New Zealand. returned to the UK for restoration in ???? details tbc . To the left is the Fowler "Dalton Boy" and to the right is ??? partregno BF 840 ? [if the missing digit is a 7, then I think that is the Allchin known as "Lady Olivia"]

{1-21} Fowler 9544 "Dalton Boy" weighs 13 tons, was built in 1902 for use in Australia [hence the reference to Sydney on the smokebox door] regno DS 6584. with the present owner since 1980. . I'm impressed with the lining scheme.

Didn't mean to include the dumpster in the line-up. There were 12 full-size engines listed in the rally handbook, at least 10 are visible.

Almost all the full size steamers are now in the arena, ranging from a Robey "Tandem" roller [the red one on the extreme right] to various Fowlers and Showman's, plus a Sentinel S4 steam waggon. The last ones to enter were the matched pair of Fowler ploughing engines, currently just leaving their base on steam line.
