Early Morning Cleaning!
Early morning on the events field at Beamish Museum means it's time to attend to those small details that make these traction engines so special.
On the left is 1906-built Clayton Shuttleworth traction engine 38742 "Louise", weighing in at 9 tons and registered NL 1216.
In the middle, and currently getting all of the attention, is 1925-built 10-ton Fowler road roller 16615 "Astonisher", registered UM 3296.
Finally, on the right, is Foden steam wagon 13218 "Cestria", built in 1928, registered BUP 71 and weighing 7.5 tons. This truck was originally a six-wheel timber tractor but was reduced in size in preservation. It has been owned by the Thompson family for over fifty years.
The engines were at Beamish as part of the Autumn Transport Weekend of September 2021
