Had to laugh at the model engineers version of skate boarding at the end of the video

A second ploughing engine is still being built and when finished could team up to pull a plough between them.

Might even get used in anger. Apparently all that rainfall has generated record food exports for australia.

Some farmers have been lucky with good rain and bumper crops but others are still suffering from the huge floods while other parts of the country are in drought.

We have recently had a heat wave with temperature of over 40 deg C and areas in the central west of NSW are fighting huge bush fires which are out of control.

Hi Paul, thanks for posting your excellent video. Looks like a great day out. Liked the Fowlerboarding footage at the end! Was the guard reading the Lawrence Sparey lathe handbook? 8^) Cheers and thanks again.

This is my great friend's Shay ,he took just on seven years to complete it ,including designing and building the steam pump that works , i only took five years to build my Shay and Trevor also built a working steam pump for my shay we both belong to the same club and help one another out running our loco's, recently i converted mine to run on propane because of unreliable supply of good coal and yet Newcastle has one of the biggest coal loaders in the world.
