cls[24] - mini Burrell

This definitely caught my eye !

Based on a Burrell steam roller, the crane is an interesting - if weighty - addition.
The plastic jerry cans contain additional water supplies.

Quite a bit of ash has just been raked out - not the easiest of jobs on a miniature.
Apparently, some of the supplied coal needs a hot fire to burn, and this one is running with Fros-y-Fran ovals [briquettes] to get the hotter fire needed.

UN liveried FV107 Scimitar.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV107_Scimitar

This example served in Bosnia under UN control during 1994, hence the white livery.
I have been told that it is now owned by the person who commanded it over there.
Classed as a "light tank" and usually used in the close reconnaissance role.
Does about 11 to 15 mpg depending on terrain / mission ...

Sadly, I was otherwise occupied when this, & I presume the Ferret, had a turn around the arena.

173cc two-stroke aka bag of hammers ... I can say that with feeling as I have a 1966 D7/D10 hybrid / bitza - being a bit picky here, but this should have the round badge, not this pear-shaped one. Nice restoration work.

Bella's first trip to a Steam Rally.
So many pats, strokes and "isn't she cute" comments.
She was a little flummoxed by all the hissing monsters, but she behaved herself remarkably well.
No reaction at all to the Clayton & Shuttleworth "Louise" built 1906 RegNo. NL 1216 [which was idling gently] behind I&J
She didn't attempt to hide, nor cower away - even when the arena whistling was a bit loud ...
The only - and it was only the one - bark was to remind me I owed her a chip or three from lunch !

Another view of the classic cars on display, I didn't really get a good look at what was here. I was told that Sunday is usually the better day for cars.

Longest row had 15 spaces in it, and there were four rows - 4 x 15 = 60, plus several small commercial vans & 4WDs in various places. The visible gaps are because some people had already left for the day.

The various vehicles entered by BM Stafford. The only one not visible is the Fowler road locomotive "Providence" which I think is still in the "playpen" towing one of the heavy haulage trailers around. Oh, plus the Scammell ballast tractor {LTW 419}, I don't think that's here either.
L -> R
i) 1937 Sentinel S4 regno BTD 868 [earlier this was rushing around the playpen, in company with the other S4 here - the one liveried for "Price's Bread].
ii) I think that this is a1934 Morris regno JC 1900
iii) 1977/78 AEC regno WYC 879S
iv) 2004 Foden [i think the regno is PX04 HWV}
