4	Charles Burrell & Sons Ltd. Road Locomotive ‘Empress’	4010	1925	DD 6888	5NHP	P. Brown, Glos.	Fri/Sat/Sun
This 5nhp, 3 speed double crank road locomotive was new to Henry Workman sawmill of Woodchester, Gloucestershire in April 1925.  The engine was used it for timber haulage and extraction in the surrounding area.   The 3 man engine crew consisted of driver Ralph Price, steersman is currently unknown and the 3rd was Edward Brunsdon who acted as loader and is described as being in charge of the outfit.   Around early 1941 the engine was sold on to Jesse Vines, the well know engine dealer from Gloucester.  In August 1941 Jesse Vines sold the engine to agricultural contractor and dealer Murch of Umberleigh, Devon.  Part of the deal included Jesse Vines receiving Foden timber tractor No14084.  The engine didn’t stay with Murch for any great length of time as was soon sold on again to Chapman Bros, an agricultural contractor of St Wenn, near Bodmin, Cornwall.  Chapman Bros were to be the engines last commercial operator, they used it for threshing through the war years.  During their ownership the engine had its belly tanks and motion covers removed.  Burrell 4010 was sold into preservation to Reg Tonkin of St Eval, Cornwall, we believe around the mid-1950s, the engine attending the West of England Steam Society rally in 1956.  Around this time the engine had acquired brass parts that were removed from Burrell showman’s engine “Victor” that had been cut up locally at the time.  The engine left Cornwall in 1977 when it was sold to Martin Burr from Sheffield.  Martin began restoration work, fitting a new boiler barrel and fire box.  A professional engineer he carried much of this work out himself.  On August 21st 2014 we purchased the engine and it returned to Woodchester, Gloucestershire.

16	John Fowler & Co. (Leeds) Ltd. General Purpose Engine	18539	1929	NM 74	7NHP	D. Fowler, Oxon.	Fri/Sat/Sun
Fowler Work No 18539 was completed on the 18th of August 1929 as a class R3 single cylinder traction engine. According to the records it was initially allocated works number 15775, this was originally scheduled for production in 1927 but for some reason it was turned out 2 years later as works number 18539. This could have been due to a cancelled order but more likely that the engine sat un-sold for 2 years as there were very few buyers for steam engines by the late 1920™s. 18539 was supplied new to A.M Cole (Engine dealer) of Sleaford, Kesteven, on registration number TL 455. A.M. Cole sold the engine on in the late 1920s to John W Smith & Sons, who had premises in both Friers Farm, Standon and Stevenage, Herts.   By June 1957 the engine was with Thomas T Boughton & Son, Amersham Common, Bucks (Which was later known as TTB). During this ownership 18539was named œIron Ada and the registration NM74 was transferred to it from Fowler Works number 15651 which was a single cylinder traction engine also known by TT Boughton. Number 15651 was sold to J Hardwick & Son of West Ewell, Surrey who were a well-known scrap metal merchant and this engine has not survived into preservation. Circa 1980, 18539 was bought by Roland Green of Haddenham, Bucks and he renamed in œSaraben after his Grandchildren Sara and Ben.   September 1980 the engine passed to Johnathan Bush and in 1989 it was sold to Mike Sonley of Yate, Bristol. September 1992 the engine was bought by Andrew Cox of Chipping Sodbury and Robert and Michelle Franklin of Wickwar, Gloucestershire. They named the engine œRam (Robert Andrew Michelle). Robert and Michelle worked in computers and Andrew being a sheep farmer, the name seemed apt at the time. In 1997 Andrew bought Robert and Michelles half of the engine. The engine was rallied until 2004 when the firebox failed its test. Consequently, a new firebox, boiler, barrel, smoke box and tombstone back plate were all replaced by Andrew Melrose of Mendip Steam. In 2009 the differential was rebuilt, and the rear wheels were bored and sleeved by Vince Hawkins. It was finally reconditioned by 2015, painted by Andrew Cox and lined by Adam Meredith. In October 2024, 18539 was purchased by the current owner Dereck Fowler of Standlake, Witney, Oxfordshire.

67	John Fowler & Co. (Leeds) Ltd. Steam Roller ‘Patricia B’	19053	1931	WX 7694		L. Mason, Heref.	Fri/Sat/Sun
Patricia-B is currently owned by father and son, Ian and Lewis Mason. The family purchased the engine in May 2012, but have known Patricia-B much longer. It was the very first engine Lewis stood on aged 2. Since purchasing Patricia-B the family have repaired the engine. Over last winter, a small canopy repair quickly became a complete replacement, varnishing and white painting became the family pastime. The previous owner, Ray Matthews of Much Wenlock, had owned the engine since September 1991. Ian and Lewis have known the Matthew’s family for some time and have been introduced to the world of steam engines over this period. Ray has past vast amounts of knowledge to Ian but especially to Lewis. Using all this knowledge together they completely retubed Patricia-B over the winter of 2011. Whilst the owner Ray carried out a large amount of work, machining valves and gears showing a vast amount of patience and machining skills. Prior to Ray the owner was Liz Mason of Newport Shropshire, who purchased the engine in 1968. At this time Patricia- B was known as Crocket. Not much history is known about the engine during this time. The second owner was Corfields of Abermule, Mid Wales, who purchased it in 1961. The engine was originally built in 1931 for the West Riding of Yorkshire County Council, being one of many having a hard working life over this period. Ian and Lewis also own a 4 inch miniature Burrell engine, Little Lew. Lewis has achieved Best GDSF Steam Apprentice in 2010 and NTET 2011 Apprentice of the Year.

69	Foden Ltd. Steam Wagon ‘Pride Of Burley’	5078	1914	M 7124		M. White, Hants.	Fri/Sat/Sun
One of a batch supplied new to the Royal Naval Air Service in 1914. This wagon had a chassis frame and body 5′ longer than standard with wooden body sides and a canvas tilt. Duties were the transportation of aircraft and components or personnel at its base in Devonport. After military service the wagon ended up at the military dump in Slough and from here was purchased by Bristow Brothers of Hereford in 1928. From the wagon a flourishing transport business was established. During the 2nd World War the firm built the wagon into a stone crushing plant using it to drive the crusher. It then became very derelict embedded in concrete until purchased by Mike Salmon some twenty years latter in 1962. Over the next few years Mike resurrected the wagon and began using it at early steam rally events. In 1978 ownership changed once more to that of John Lea of Chelford. John gave the wagon a quick makeover and used it at a number of rallies. By the early 1980’s John had to give the wagon some serious boiler work and refurbishment. The wagon was largely refurbished both boiler and mechanically and a new correct style cab fitted. Circumstances led the wagon to be laid up in 1988 until purchased by the present owner in Nov 2017.

74	Charles Burrell & Sons Road Locomotive	3777	1917	Y 9922	5 NHP	M. White, Hants.	Fri/Sat/Sun
This engine was supplied new to W.J. King of Bagborough, Somerset, in December 1917, via Burrell agent George Thurlow & Sons on Stowmarket.   Normal duties would have been timber haulage, wood sawing and since W.J King were quarry miners, she no doubt working in the quarry, delivering stone for road making.   In July 1923, she was sold to E&H Edney of Waterlooville, Hampshire and worked hard on timber haulage and wood sawing.   It is likely that with this owner she received the name “Queen Mary”. By August 1936 she was with Len Page of Falmer, East Sussex and this would have been the beginning of entering the preservation world.   A new owner in Gerald Rudd of Middleton, Suffolk by 1964 gave the engine a much needed makeover and started to attend some early steam rallies.   After being parked up and sat under a sheet for 15+ years, “Queen Mary” was purchased by Terry & Val Maynard of Tonbridge, Kent in 2013. Over a relatively short period of  only 2 years, Terry treated the engine to a complete boiler and mechanical overhaul, he also took on the many hours of rubbing down and brush painting coach enamel himself.   A huge credit to Terry and his team for this superb restoration.   To free up time on a new project, Terry sold “Queen Mary” to the current owner, Martin White in 2025.

96	Marshall, Son’s & Company Ltd. Traction Engine ‘Old Timer’	37690	1902	BH 7373	6NHP	B. Brown, Berks.	Fri/Sat/Sun
New to T.W.Russell of Fordham Cambs in 1902, with Mr Rose of Rose Haddenham, Bucks by 1921 and with Wilders of Wallingford by 1938. Purchased from Wilders in 1950 by Arthur Napper of Appleford. In July 1950, Arthur and another local farmer raced their engines across a field for a pub bet to find out who’s was fastest. The wager was a firkin of ale and was won by Arthur and “Old Timer”, watched on by a handful of friends and locals at Appleford, then in Berkshire. Not satisfied with the result, the loser-former Battel of Britain pilot Miles Chetwynd-Stapleton with his Aveling & Porter traction engine “Ladygrove” challenged Arthur to a rematch the following month. This time hundreds of spectators watched the race, including a reporter from the Daily Mirror. Arthur and “Old Timer” won the race again and made headline news in the Daily Mirror- Britain’s then newest sport was born.   By the early fifties a number of enthusiasts were already beginning to preserve and collect these old engines now consigned to the scrapyard, but the publicity of Arthur’s races had captured the imagination of a much wider audience. Giles Romanes, an eye surgeon from Bray heard about the racing at Appleford, Giles owned an engine himself and so decided to contact Arthur to challenge him to another race. They met halfway at Nettlebed in 1951, again Arthur and ‘Old Timer’ won the race. Racing traction engines continued for a couple of years before being discontinued as it was considered dangerous and cruel to the engines. It was reported on the 1952 race that ‘Old Timer’ won the mile long race in 3 mins and 37 seconds, an average of over 17mph-a safe top speed would not be more than 6-7 mph. These early races and the press interest helped tremendously in accelerating the realisation of interest in Britain’s road steam heritage, before the scrap man could get it his way. It was from these early events that the National Traction Engine Club was formed in 1954, and it was the beginning of steam rallies as we know them. Old Timer is possibly the worlds most famous traction engine, recognised as the engine that started it all and the late Arthur Napper the father of the Traction engine rally.
