Had it have been in full technicolor showing off the rusty yellow, I may have had a little accident

Started with either a lot of effort and a fag end or a 12 gauge cartridge!
Nice......

It's a 2 stroke I think
There is a Barn full of vintage Tractors from around the world in Reading with more awaiting restoration in the field
I play Barn Dances there every year when they get moved out for the evening
Last year the owner had an American Fire Truck as well, complete right down to the axes that cost £600 on e-bay (& £2k to get it shipped over to the UK)

Is that picture of yours Martin taken in a 1960's scrap yard specialising in breaking railway engines? :-? :-?
I think I can see up to three diesel shunters and one steam locomotive (unrebuilt W.C. or B.B?) with the boiler under a canvas sheet, along with possibly an ex-tender snow plough. 8-) 8-)
If so, do you know which scrapyard? :-? :-?

Correct, a 2 stroke Field Marshall single horizontal cylinder with a
200mm bore and 260mm stroke!

The print is superb but I couldn't find it and my scanner is not brilliant as scanning film stock

a long stroke 2 stroke single like that needs every ounce of its chunky flywheel, I would think... ;D

I don't think I have any colour stills but I MAY have some video - I will look.

Thanks Martin! :y :y :y
But, why were you angry about me asking the question?? :o :o :-?
As a matter of interest 35006 spent 18 years and 3 months at Barry scrap yard after withdrawal from BR service in 1964, before being taken to the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Railway for restoration. ;)

Picture taken in 1985 and 35006 had not yet been dismantled

I was going to pass over this thread because of the title, then it dawned on me ::) ::) :-[

I didnt even notice the engines in the background...
What a shame :(

Thanks Martin, and now it is being restored. 8-) 8-) ;)
You didn't answer my question though:
"But, why were you angry about me asking the question?? :o :o :-?"
What have I done to upset you? :-?

Ah, I see Martin, thank you!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
What a relief, as I couldn't understand what I had done to upset you which was really worrying me!! ::) ::) ::) :D :D ;) Now I know and fully understand! :-* :-*
As for the Great Western Railway and the Gloucester & Warwickshire Railway, I love them both. In fact although a "Southern" girl, I grew to love the GWR in my young days when the Western Region of BR were still steam driven. When living in Dartmouth in 1960 / 61 I had the honour of travelling behind steam hauled 'Torbay Expresses' a number of times and becoming familiar with many GWR loco types. When living in Bristol from 1982 to 2000 I also explored many 'local' railway centres, including the fledgling Gloucester & Warwickshire! :-*
What great memories!! :-* :-* :-* :-* 8-) 8-) ;)

Lol, all the preserved railways have bits that look like scrap yards! ;D
Think I might be looking at a seized lump on a diesel PW rail crane on Thursday night!
Or buggering with batteries on a 47

Indeed Mark, but since I started in railway preservation in 1977 many have cleaned up their act to make their sites more suitable for visitors, with of course H & S coming into the equation! ::) ::) :D :D ;)
To think my two boys, of 3 and 5 years of age (in the late 70's) helped clean engine parts amongst all the bits!! ::) ::) :D ;)

I did a lot of videoing between 1985 and 1993 also was involved in the Autocoach group
