Be warned my son and I did David loaders steam esperance in 2021 I cost us best part off £90,000 we are now the proud owners of a 1900 wallis and steevens traction engine it's a very addictive hobby 😊
An all round great day Dan! I bet you really enjoyed the experience And they did let you have a good go with the engine. Bet the folk in the home were well pleased too. We all need to support our local air ambulance, so vital in rural areas. Great work from the camera person too! It was a great watch👌
Nice one, we went to Berrybrooks and took "The General" their half size showmans (when they had it) out for the day before we bought our miniature (not from there I'd add), was very good day. Must admit having fired and messed about with a fullsize showmans I'm happy to stick with the smaller scales, lovely as a full size is you tend to need deep pockets and decent crew and a back made of steel 😁
@@SteamOTR They are hard work, but rewarding. I'm very happy with my half size, easy to transport, reasonably quick to fire and pretty manageable in almost all situations.
@SteamOTR there is a bit of a waiting list for Shrewsbury, from memory they dont have a huge miniature section (mainly full size) worth the wait though . I recommend a visit for the day in the meantime.

All credit to Cal for the camera work. It was a fantastic day, really enjoyed it.
Ya lucky sod!
I may need to look into doing something like this, I'm a few years off affording a roller yet 😂
It was a gret day - go do it, it's so worth it.

Loved the day. Might be tempted in to a full-size at some stage.

Everything you're saying is the same as the things I say to try and convince myself that I only want the Half-size. But then............
that was a good video
Great, thank you
'It's a slippery slope ... 😉
It's a glide rather than a slope 😁
slippery slope that!
im down about 120k au and any spare time and cash ive had since.
Ha! I can imagine. It's quite addictive isn't it!
Are you heading over to Shrewsbury Steam Rally next month Dan?
No, I tried to get in but alas wasn't successful.
@@SteamOTR that's a shame, what was their reason for not allowing you in?
They just told me I hadn't been successfull.

@@Cezaelizabeth May well do just that 👍
How are you feeling after the cotswold steam rally, you were a bit poorly.
It all went pretty badly. I had sepsis and ended up in the bone infection unit in Oxford. More surgery and long recovery!
@SteamOTR glad you are on the mend,looking forward to next season!
