Thought some of you might like to see a few photos taken at this years St Agnes steam rally.

Not as many as usual as the weather was terrible on the Saturday when I was there.
The Sunday was better, and a pal (Roger Mason) took a few photos then which I have incuded.

Thanks, Alan. Gee, a Shay powered roller..... Food for thought.

Thanks, again,

Greg,
That one was a new one on me, and I thought I had seen or read about every type of engine.

A 2 cylinder vertical one side, counterbalanced by the water tank the other.
Direct drive to the wheels by bevel gears, but with no clutch or other method of disengaging the drive. !!

I was told it was the only one ever built.

It's an interresting concept. Let's see, you take the drivetrain out of a MichCal #2..... Something that would be right up Jesse's baliwick!
