Update - 23rd January 2008
Little has changed on the site in a year for various reasons, however
that isn't to say things have been at a standstill.
Here is a brief summary of what we have been up to...!
Fowler Pumpset
This is the main project for 2008 Astle Park, its on the trolley
and the pump has now been stripped, painted and rebuilt with new
piston seals and gland packing (thanks to Allan G for the parts).
The pump is now finished and work as moved on to the engine which
has been stripped for a light restoration as it was already in good
running order. Hopefully by Easter the engine will be well on the
way to being finished ready for the new rally season.

Rallies in 2007
Managed to exhibit at a couple of rallies this year but the highlight
was the trip to Dorset which took in the Fleet Air Arms museum and
then on to 3 full days at the steam fair which was fantastic. Highlights
were the heavy haulage section, working steam sawing displays, steam
fair on saturday night and of course the stationary engines.








Keep an eye on the site on the coming months as I am hoping to
update more pages as time permits.
