FROM THE EDITOR
I have purposefully left producing this edition just a little late in order to bring you photographs from the recent NTET road run. This was a very worthwhile event and I am sorry for all those who could not attend this interesting weekend. However I know that many of you have visited other rallies up and down the country-I have seen some of you on occasion.
The most successful SAC event must have been at the Great Dorset, where apprentices were seen on engines and in the NTET tent. Best of all was the 'breakfast on the shovel' held on the Sunday morning, where four engines were arranged and prepared just to cook your breakfasts. The sun shone and apprentices queued behind the engines waiting their turn to have their breakfasts cooked. Thanks go to Steve Parrot for organising the engines for us and, of course, to the engine owners for getting up early, steaming and cleaning their engines and most particularly, cleaning their shovels! A really good time was had by all the apprentices, many of whom left with smiling greasy faces. Back at the tent, the Photographic and Colouring Competitions were held. After a slow start, we had a good selection of both photos and coloured pictures on show for our judges to inspect.
The season has been the least successful so far as I am concerned. Pressure of work meant that I visited fewer rallies than I would have liked this year. I report later on some of the events I did get to, so I would really like to hear from those of you who have been out and about this year. Please send in your report on
The Burrell tractor 'May Queen) about to leave the rally field as the first engine in the recent NTET's successful road run around Northamptonshire.
what you have seen - a photograph would be especially nice too. Having said that I do, at last have more than a full magazine's worth of contributions from you. Some will have to be held over, but it will be used. Unfortunately we cannot just produce a bigger magazine due to cost restraints. But do please keep your letters and pictures coming.
We shall soon have a new Chairman. John Bosworth who has been our Chairman for the past three years, wishes to pass on the position to someone whom he feels will be able to organise on a national basis better than hiln. I cannot but say that I think John underestimates his worth, and I am pleased to say that he will not be giving up his SAC presence altogether. At an impromptu meeting held at the Great Dorset, John Durling, our Chairman elect, and his wife Fiona, gathered a few of us around a table to talk of the SAC's future. Almost without trying an enthusiastic committee had been formed. I imagine we shall soon formalise the situation, when proper details will be published. One thing I can say, is that the future looks very good for the SAC. I know it will not be long before all age groups benefit from the new broom!
Barry Sumsion, Editor
CHAIRMAN'S COLUMN
Another Dorset Show is behind us -did you visiting Steam Apprentices find something of interest? I was only able to escape from the NTET marquee on Thursday morning to look at the Fowler Collection. Exhibits came from everywhere, from "Supreme" down to the small agricultural equipment-what a display from just one firm.
I am a keen RNLI supporter and at the moment have the honour of being my local Branch President. What should I find in the Fowler exhibition but a Fowler lifeboat recovery tractor. These were built from 1952 onwards (yes, Fowlers were still operating then), and thirteen were constructed in total and I just wish that I were the owner of one. However, that is enough of these internal combustion machines!
Most of my time in the NTET marquee was spent meeting one and all, but perhaps not as many Steam Apprentices as last year. Derek Marden's steam tractor was there to be observed, discussed, and even cleaned by Steam Apprentices. It is difficult to get Apprentices associated with an engine at such a large event as Tarant Hinton, however one did have a day on HThe Iron Maiden".
As my term of office as your Chairman comes to an end at the NTET AGM, I feel that more support is needed from parents for the continued success of the Steam Apprentice Club. I have tried my best with the time available to me.
I would like to wish John and Fiona Durling the best of luck as they take over my duties and ask all parents to give them their support.
John Bosworth, Chairman
AND FROM THE CHAIRMAN-ELECT
Traction Engine Driving Course
Next year, like the previous six, the National Traction Engine Trust will be running a driving course to enable adults to learn the basics of engine management and handling. Over the past few years we have tried to run a similar course for the SAC, unfortunately without much success. To try to make the course more attractive to the whole family the NTET have invited us to join them at their event, which will be held over the weekend of 10/11 May 1997 at the West Somerset Railway at Bishops Lydeard near Taunton.
As well as access to full size engines we hope to have a selection of miniatures (2" scale and bigger) available. These can be much better for learning to drive and operate than the real thing just because their smaller size makes them more m.anageable. We are also planning to have an area in a marquee for the operation of your models -Mainod or any other-so that you can join in fully with what is going on. Perhaps Dad and/or Mum could join the adult course as well!
We will let you know more details in the next issue of Raising Steam, however here is some information which may help now. The course is intended to give proper instruction in the care and operation of traction engines and therefore must be limited to apprentices aged 14 years old and over. It is expected that those apprentices of 16 and over will be able to join the full adult course, as they have in previous years, at a subsidised rate of £50.00. 14 and 15 year olds will be able to take part in a specially planned course which will include parts of the main course and lectures at a cost of between £20 and £30. Activities for apprentices aged between 10 and 14 can be organised if there is a demandplease let us know.
Camping and caravan facilities are available on site, and will be free to families of SAC members, thus giving the non-steam people a base to explore the area.
Bishops Lydeard is in a beautiful part of the country, with many other activities nearby which may interest those members of the family who aren't yet completely nuts on steam engines. There are various attractions in the area including several fainous houses, the railway itself, Wookey Hole and, as always, the coast.
This is a brilliant opportunity to get your hands on a steam engine with proper training, if you want to work on engines - or even own one -you must take these chances now! Nate the date and make sure that the family plans a spring holiday in Somerset -10/11 May 1997, and don't forget to save your birthday and Christmas money! If you think you would like to come, let me know and send a stamped ad.dressed envelope so that I can send you more information.
A word to Mum and Dad. This event is organised by the Trust for all its members. If you wish to participate as a student or perhaps as an experienced local engine owner (either full size or miniature) who is prepared to bring in additional knowledge, experience and an engine for the weekend, or as a lecturer or general helper please get in touch. Alternatively if you have any thoughts regarding the composition of the course, bearing in mind practical considerations, helpful suggestions are always welcome.

Dear Editor
I am a new member of the SAC. My name is Sam Wheeler. I have been helping my Dad three years now on my Grandad's engine called "Oliver". But sadly, Geoffrey Wheeler, my Grandad, died. I was four when I first started to help my Dad, Jonathan Wheeler, on the Ruston.
When we go threshing, baling and sawing, my job is watching the pressure gauge and the water level.
In the last SAC magazine (No. 2) a boy wrote about the replica of the Iron Maiden. When my Dad was a little boy he lived at Penn.
One day my Dad saw a showmans engine arrive on a low loader. But when my Dad went to look at it he found out that it was made out of wood. Later, in steam, travelling along the road, came the real Iron Maiden made of metal, steel. When they started filming it my Grandad was filming with his little cinecamera but my Grandad's camera was making a funny noise. The people who were filming asked my Grandad to stop filming. The bit they were filming was when the engine came down the hill running away. The driver was a man dressed up as a lady. Behind the hedge there was a pile of squashed policeman's bicycles that they had run over. So there really was a replica of the Iron Maiden.
Hope you liked the information. •

Dear Editor
My name is Chris Holden, and I wrote to you in the Winter 1994/95 issue of Raising Steam, about my friend's 1876 Marshall agricultural engine MA750 called 'Baldrick'. Unfortunately, the Marshall was sold in May 1995 after the Sellinge Steam Special. He went to Scotland on a low loader, it was a sad moment for me as Baldrick was my first engine. He now takes pride of place with an Aveling & Porter roller, and the new owner has kindly sent a video of Baldrick at his new home.
Mr Slingsby, former owner of the Marshall, now owns a 5 Ton 1917 Foden steam wagon, T8750. We've had a brilliant summer rally season. We had a road run from Sellinge to Sarre windmill when the Faden nicknamed 'Fred' transported a couple of tons of corn to the windmill to be milled into flour to make lovely bread on the premises. Another run was to a vintage harvest at Elham where I live. At the Sellinge steain special in May, I had a chance to steer my first roller, a Marshall called Primrose owned and lovingly cared for by Ben and his Dad (I must mention Mum too!!!)
I have had yet again a good time, and now 'Fred' is undergoing his winter care, we are all planning our summer season in Kent. If any other members are ever at the Kent rallies or steaming events look out for us, we can't be missed!!!
Best wishes
Christopher Holden (9) Elham, Canterbury, Kent
Dear Editor
I wrote a letter to you in the Spring asking for clues to where I could find the Burrell Special Scenic No. 4000 'Ex Mayor'. Thankyou for publishing my letter.
On July 26, my Dad took me and my Grandad to see the Pickering Traction Engine Rally in North Yorkshire. There were well over 20 showmans road locomotives there. Grandad was very pleased with the rally. While we were watching an exhibition of miniature engines we saw an engine in the centre of the arena covered in tarpaulin. On "the tarpaulin it said Burrell No. 4000. Gran dad knew straight away that it was 'Ex Mayor'. This was the first time he had seen the engine for ahnost sixty years. After the exhibition of miniatures, we watched 'Ex Mayor' being uncovered. It was great to see it slowly unveiled, and when the last wraps were removed the engine looked brilliant. We talked to the 1nan who was uncovering the engine. He told us the recent history of the engine.
Grandad was very pleased, especially as we hadn't expected to see 'Ex Mayor'. I have enclosed a photogTpah showing me and my gTandad with 'Ex Mayor'.
Sadly we did not get to ride on the engine. The engine is now owned by the Saunders family of Stotfold, Bedfordshire, and has now been completely rebuilt. Ii looks in excellent condition and was painted dark blue, which according to my Grandad was the original colour when Tubys owned it.
I would like to thank Jonathan Harry for putting us on the trail with his letter in the last issue of "Raising Steam".
Your sincerely Adam Ardron (age 12) BarnsleY, South Yorkshire
PS. 'Ex Mayor' is mentioned in the book "Whilst I Live, I'll Crow!", which tells the story of the Tuby family, and their lives working the showgrounds of Northern England. The author states that the cylinder 1neasurements of 'Ex Mayor' were 71/,i'' x 11 ¼" x 12" and that the engine was l0nhp. 'l"he rally at Pickering was wonderful. 33 SRLs were named in the programme, and most of them had already arrived by Friday lunchtilne. The show was worth a visit just to see 'Lord Lascelles', the 1921 Burrell SRL No. 3886
1owned by Richard Marsh : of Stockport. The complete rebuild by the owner has been a tre1nendous success and it really looked as if it had just emerged from the works. But for the Ardron family, 'Ex Mayor' was the star turn. Thank you, Mr Saunders for looking after it so carefully! D. Ard.ran (Adam's Dad).
Dear Barry
I joined the Steam Apprentice Club at Malpas steam rally. I was given some back issues to read. I was very surprised to read that the training weekend at Klondyke had to be cancelled due to lack of support. I would have loved to take part in this weekend. I hope it will run next year so I can take part. (See John Durling's comments this time - Ed).
I have recently been on holiday. The first weekend we went to the Lincoln steam rally. My Dad was working on a saw bench with his friend. This really drew the crowds, I think demonstrations of how things used to work are a really good idea. Most of the public especially children don't know what engines were used for. After Lincoln we moved down to Norfolk. While we were there we visited the Thursford Collection (it is a steam museum). I thought the engines looked lovely and I thought that it was great the way they were restoring them all. I felt that it would have been a lot better if they were in steam so people could see that they worked and the engines weren't just ornaments. I really found it quite depressing.
I have enclosed a photo of my uncle's Aveling & Porter 8 Ton Compound Steam Roller "Earl 'E' Ryzer", Reg No. NU3041, Works No. 10753. It was new to New Mills Urban District Council (that's where I live) in April 1924. It worked for the Council until 1966. It was sold in 1970.
My uncle purchased the engine in 1987. He carried out major boiler repairs. These repairs included a new firebox and boiler barrel. Whilst the engine was dismantled it was decided to make a new back axle and axle box bearings. First gear on the crankshaft, an intermediate gear on the second shaft and the final drive gear on the axle were built up and machined back to original profile. The engine was rebuilt after a hydraulic test on the boiler, it was then completely repainted and lined out. This work was carried out over 14 months and took approximately 1500 hours outside normal working hours.
Hope this information is some help. Keep up the good work on the magazine. I'm looking forward to the next issue!
Regards
Anna Lomas, New Mills, Stockport
Thank you for a most interesting letter. I share some of your sentiments about the engines at Thursford. However, on a visit there myself earlier this year, I was fortunate to have a conversation with Mr George Cushing the founder of the collection. Engines in steam require lots of manpower, who all have to be paid, and insurance costs to run so many engines in a public place are very high. Unfortunately due partly to the recent recession and the number of people who holiday abroad, fewer people visit such attractions than might be the case. Although the place may well be crowded when you visited, this is not always the case, and remember, whether open or not, the cost of maintaining the museum and the engines and the ongoing restoration costs of even more engines, goes on 365 days a year. We should be eternally grateful that Mr Cushing began collecting engines when he did and that most of them will eventually be restored - and could run one day. If you are in the area, a visit is a must!! - Ed.

Dear Editor
I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Atkinson and the crew of 'His Lordship' and 'Princess Maud' for showing me the engines and letting me help with the cleaning and coaling of the engines at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. They were very helpful and told me about the Steam Apprentice Club and I joined at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. Because I am a member more people talked to me. It would be good to find an engine in our area to go and help with.

COLOURING GAME
Over the page you will find a colouring game created by Fiona Durling with the junior members in mind. However it is there for anyone to use, and conveys a message to you all. By carefully filling in the shapes with a dot in them you should eventually see the picture. This is not a competition but something to pass the odd moments whilst waiting for the next rally to come around! Use crayons or coloured pencils for the best results, water colours are not recommended, as the paper will pucker and you will spoil your magazine - Ed.
GEORGE AND THE DRAGON
This book is very interesting. It is set in World War II and involves the grand saving of a Burrell (Dragon). The book gives good descriptions of how an engine works, what each lever does, etc. Although not a short book at 114 pages, it is a fairly easy reader. Includes good pictures with the right an1ount. Could be continued ie: 'George and the Dragon in Steam' could be the next book in the range. Good plot. Rating 9 1/2/10. /

THE GREATDORSET
Two major events concerning the Steam Apprentice Club took place at this event. The judging of the Photographic and Colouring Co1npetitions took place in the NTET marquee and a very successful 'Breakfast on the Shovel' was organised for the Sunday morning.
The Photographic Competition was won by David Main of Rainham, Gillingham, Kent. Second was Christopher Holden of Elham, Canterbury, Kent whilst third place went to Daniel Green from Prestwood, Buckinghamshire. Other entries were also very good and the judges had a very difficult time in choosing the winners. After a slow start we had a good number of entries - well done to all who entered, they were all very good.
The Colouring Competition was won by Erica Chick aged 7½ from Camborne in Cornwall, whilst runner-up was Alison Green aged 8 of Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire. Again we had a good number of entries and some very good colouring. Congratulations to our winners. Our other entrants should not feel too disheartened, the overall standard was excellent and again it was difficult to decide who should win.
Our thanks to the judges and especially to Christine Wells who also provided the drawing for the colouring competition at very short notice. Well done everyone!
Although difficult to photograph and to reproduce here, this collage shows the display of photographs and colouring competition entries at the Great Dorset Stearn Fair in the NT ET marquee. I hope to reproduce one or two of the photo entries in the next Raising Steam.
Also in the NTET marquee was this collection of Legobuilt steam and other road transport by apprenti<;e Paul Cook, son of NTET Membership Secretary John Cook. It is rumoured that John gets as much satisfaction out of Lego as Paull

MORE MAILBAG
Dear Editor,
Thank you to Chris Field, David :Main and Byron Martin for replying to my letter with regards to the whereabouts of the 'Titfield Thunderbolt' (The Lion) and where the film of the same name was shot.
During my sum1ner holidays, my l\1um and Dad took me to Bath from where we visited the locations in the film including Monkton Coombe, Freshford and Midford, all of which are lovely places to see. Unfortunately the Titfield railway station has long since gone with only the two station gate posts remaining. However at nearby Limpley Stoke we were able to see a similar looking station where the man in charge is building a model replica of the Titfield line. He also had lots of interesting books etc ... well worth a visit!
Later on during our holidays we went to the Harewood House Steam Traction Engine Rally near Leeds. This is a great rally with lots of interesting engines to see including a blue painted 'Dreadnought' though I don't think it is the one in the 'Iron Maiden' film. Also this year we have been to the Masham traction engine rally where we stayed the weekend in our caravan. I still think that this is the best rally! Another nice small rally was at Stamfordham in Northumberland which I enjoyed very much.
After leaving Harewood House Rally we went over to Liverpool to the General Museum where I was able to see the Titfield Thunderbolt train or The Lion as it is known. It was good to see it for real though it deserves a better position to let you walk round it. Whilst we were in Monkton Combe we met the Titfield
Appreciation Enthusiasts Club who have promised to send me more information. My ambition now is to ride on a traction engine though I would be happy just to clean one in the meanti1ne. Any offers? Maybe our friends in Potto or Eaglescliffe?
Looking forward to next year's rallies!

Here is Matthew)s picture of Fowler ploughing engine BE7548 taken at Harewood House traction engine rally. I imagine that is Matthew standing by the engine.
Dear Editor
Since my last piece of writing and drawing I haven't yet been sent a magazine. I have got a Wilesco steam roller and the water glass is all dirty and it needs a new one. Could you tell 1ne where I can get one please.
Your sincerely Th01nas Parrott and this is Thomas,s drawing of a steam wagon.
Try PPS Steam Models, Coach House, The Cooperage, Key Ford,
Frome, Somerset BAl 1 lJX for your Wilesco spares - Ed.
AND FINALLY
That's all we've room for this time, despite making the print size a little smaller tQ.an usual. I do have quite a lot more material from you which will appear in the n~xt issue. Please do not see that as a reason to stop writing. Everything you s~nd in, I will print. I expect the winter edition to normally be a bit thin, since there is less going on at that time - your next issue will not be thin! I've lots of dtawings and photos to produce and some letters too plus a very large article from Neil Cobb which may even need to be serialised! Keep it coming thougharid you will eventually see your magazine grow.
No-one seems to have noticed my 1nistake in calling the last magazine Volume ll Number 3, when it should have been Volun1e 10 Number 3 of course. I am b<:tckon track now though! In the meantime have a Very Happy Steaming C:hristmas and a Happy New Year.
