Some pictures from the 26th Model Engineers day at Forncett Steam Museum.

Ramon adjusting his 5cc version of an ED Hunter, runs very well.

1/4 Scale Anzani and Bentley BR2 both expertly made by Dennis Snaith from Co Durham.

Thanks Emgee for taking and posting these pics as a reminder of just what a great day out it was. Jason – you really do ought to come and join us – if only for once.

Running of exhibits has always been encouraged at the event – much appreciated by all who attend so long may it continue to be so.

Regards – Ramon

Checking the pictures I realise there are no pictures of the exhibits from 2 fairly local model engineers who spent all Saturday afternoon carrying a very heavy display into the museum close to the Stamford engine and arrived very early Sunday morning to set up the compressor outside and test run the display before the public arrived.

The exhibit consisted of a large steam loco and tender with what I believe was a pullman car all on a temporary track at bench height.
Also a very large working crane, perhaps based on the British Rail type with endless pulleys and belts, it was mounted on a bogie and from memory was approx 3ft long.
Another model they displayed was a thrashing set consisting of a steam engine driving the thrashing machine feeding onto an elevator driven from a pulley on the thrashing machine which I guess was built 1" to foot scale so an impressive display.

My apologies to the exhibitors above and any others that didn't feature in my pictures.
If they are members here perhaps they can add some more details and pictures.
