Raising Steam 2007 Vol.21 No.1

Above: The last issue of the magazine featured, on the cover, a photograph from Samantha Jones which helped her gain second place in the over I5s section of the Photographic Competition. Here we see another of her entries, albeit in black and white. Whilst the composition might lack something - not easy at a rally with all the paraphernalia lying around - this is a fine shot of Wallis & Steevensexpansion engine No. 73 70 'Fair Rosamund' seen at North Nibley Rally in June 2006. The photograph is notable for being sharp and showing much fine detail despite being on the shadow side of the engine.

FROM THE EDITOR

Hi everyone. I trust you all had a great Christmas and can now settle down into planning your year of rallies.

I have had a very nice letter from a man called Shane Arnold who lives in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. It originallystarted off with me noticing a lovely living van pa1;kedon his drive. It seems that at the moment he has little information on the living van but instead has written a lovely letter about a GatTett steam tractor that he also owns.

The Garrett is a 4CD steam tractor, works no 33219, reg no BJ 6180, its name is Annie and its ex work date was 28th December 1918.

It was new to JW & A Pearl of Witnesham in Suffolk. They were farming contractors who named the engine Vindictive and was kept by them until ]947.

Shane purchased the engine in the autumn of 2003 from Debbie Taylor. Driving the engine from Yarmouth car ferry to home in Cowes, he soon found that this engine was going to need a bit of attention.

The engine had a name change after Shane purchased it. The name Annie is after an engine that was owned by his grandfather and his brothers. 'Arnold Bros' fairgrounds had a Wallis & Steevens showmans tractor that was cut up for scrap.

That winter, work started on the front end. On removing one front wheel the bearing surface was more like a gramophone finish, deep grooving and bearing to match. His assistant is his dad Bill Arnold, who helps in all major lifting and jacking operations. They removed all items; front axle, spring and forecarriage assembly, it all acquired attention. Not having a long enough lathe at work a local company - Seatek Engineering - was able to undertake the skimming of the front axle journals. Now he could machine new front wheel bearings to fit, plus overhaul the forecarriage assembly, the repainting was done by Bill.

Spring 2004 just before Easter Annie was taken for a road test and a few adjustments were made that might keep the engine ready for a season. Early May 2004 it was out with the crankshaft and off to Seatek

Engineering to lightly skim the end of the crank.shaft where the fly wheel fits. A new sleeve was turned and fitted in the flywheel. Now for a job for Shane, he had to machine new main and big end bearings as the old ones were loo far gone to be reclaimed. The new bearings were fitted up and while the flywheel was off Shane was able to get a new gear cut by Llewellyns Gears. This gear drives the water feed pump, after replacing the gear the flywheel was refitted.

August 2004 Shane decided to t~ke Annie out for another road test early one evening. The chimney fell off, luckily there were no passing cars at the time and the brass top was undan1aged. A new chimney was made and il was time to try another road test. Annie just seemed to lack enthusiasm so it was to be the engine's last steaming for a while. August Bank Holiday 2004 a start was made to find out what was wrong with Annie. A whole se1ies of jobs were done to sort out any problems.

Main bearings (new), big and little ends (new), big and little encl oilers (new), eccentric oil pipes and caps (new), guide trunks removed, shot blasted and repainted, overhaul mechanical lubricator, chimney (new), chimney base casting (new), new smokebox and smokebox door, new front number plate and name plates, two replacement gauge glass frames, replace steering drum, fabricate steering bracket as the old one had poor repairs, new worm and wheel, replaced simpling valve rod, new waterbalance pipe, new access coverplate for tender, fabrication of suction hose bracket, replace valve guide bushes, overhaul slide valves, new brass hub caps, crankshaft end cap (new), canopy sign written by Gary Hurt of Signpost Express.

Shane tells me that this is not a complete list but he has done the majority of the work himself. The Garrett returned to steam on the 27th July 2006 after passing all required exams, cold and hot inspection by Ian Fa1nmce. Now to get out and start enjoying it. At the moment Annie is undergoing a boiler retube then hydraulic test and out for the 2007 season.

Thank you for the information Shane, after all that work I am looking forward to seeing Annie out and about during 2007. A little information on the trailer that you can see being towed by Annie in picture 2 - Shane rebuilt it from a chassis. It is a I 930 CaJTimore.

CHAIRMAN'S BIT

We are now in the depth of winter and all being well any engines you are involved with have been 'put to bed'. These being a necessity these days as our engines aren't used all year round as they where in their working lives. Kate, my Ave1ing & Porter 10 ton roller is not only drained down, tubes etc. cleaned, greased and oiled up, but has been wrapped up in old curtains and carpet just to make sure the weather doesn't get to her. Roll on the warmer days when we can all get out and play with our engines again.

On the subject of playing with our engines late last year I gave out our two annual awards. The first one was the Steam Apprentice of the Yem; which has been awarded to Simon Beat of Sheffield. John Carr, who he crews with, set Simon up, as he had no idea he was being awarded the Jack Beeby Cup for the Steam Apprentice of the Year. It was in

the 'clubs' workshop I sneaked in and surprised Simon as he was busily polishing away at one of the engines. I am told that was the first time anyone could recall him being speechless. He also received a shovel kindly donated by Ray Matthews of Matthews Pressing and Stumt Gray of Heritage Steam supplies

The other award was for Technical Achievement. This went to Christopher Webb of Sudbury, Suffolk this was given to Christopher at the annual Strumpshaw Stearn Museum Christmas event that raises funds for a loca] cancer charity. Christopher did know about his award and therefore was prepm·ed for having to come up in front of several hundred people to receive it. This he did with great aplomb whilst receiving the applause.

Kevin Munn, Chairman

THE TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR AWARD

For the best technical achievement by an apprentice in the current year. Areas of achievement may include: work on full size engines, modelling, model engineering or any other appropriate steam related subject (bearing in mind that we are essentially a road steam organisation.

The purpose is to encourage young people to develop hands-on experience generally within typical engineering skills. Apprentices may enter themselves or be entered by a sponsor for whom they have been working or have been under the instruction of.

Initial submissions should consist of a brief description on one side of A4 paper with 3 or 4 photographs or sketches and be with the SAC Chainnan by th end of April. From these, suitable projects wi11be chosen, and final and fully detailed submissions will be invited to be with the Chairman by the end of July. Judging will be completed by the end of September with the announcement of the winner by mid October. The award wi11be presented at the NTET AGM. Judges will be from members of the SAC Committee plus invited persons from an area appropriate to the subject entered.

A STOP PRESS NOTICE FROM ROGER NEWBURY

The Steam Apprentice weekend at Old Warden Park in April 2006, organised by the Bedford Steam Engine Preservation Society, was one of the most interesting and delightful events we have attended. BSEPS were celebrating their 50th anniversary, so this made it an even more special occasion. The first clay started with words of advice and encouragement from Paul Worbey before around 100 apprentices, including many younger members, were given the opportunity to get to grips with steering, driving or just riding with engines large and small. My wife (Mary) and I were not apprentices or parents; we were on site to film what happened. This was the first steam apprentice weekend we had been to, so we had little idea of what to expect. The main surprise was just how hard everyone worked. The next surprise was how much there was to learn, and for me too. We promoted the SAC in its early days, from our NTEC sales stand that we took all over Southern England in the early 1980s, and I've been involved at a 'steam yard' since 1979, but there were still many aspects of safe working that were new and important to discover.

The apprentices had brought potatoes and on Saturday morning these were placed in engine smokeboxes (our potatoes too) and when everyone was really hungry these were eaten at large round tables in a smart white marquee, served with baked beans, fresh fruit etc. The long queue of people collecting hot jacket potatoes was a daunting sight but the organisers were equal to the challenge and no one was disappointed. In the afternoon there was more instruction and then Mamod steaming to encl a busy day.

The emphasis on Sunday was on older apprentices and the day started with engine preparation (hard and dirty) so that clean fires could be lit to cook breakfasts 'on the shovel'. Rivalry broke out over the best design of shovel but soon each engine had a keen group watching as bacon and sausages sizzled on the fire. Jn the 'catering headquarters' more food was being prepared and soon everyone was tucking-in. Written tests of knowledge followed breakfast and later came examination of driving skills. I had lots of fun filming and hopefully most apprentices appear somewhere, perhaps eating or cleaning, receiving a certificate or driving, steering or on the footplate or trailers. The apprentices were fantastic from first to last, being keen, dedicated and disciplined, and unassuming participants in a film about themselves.

The overall film production is called "Bedfordshire Gold" which includes the 50th Birthday Party of BSEPS, with Fowler SRL Iron Maiden present; the Village Day at Blunham with lots of steam and other vehicles; and to complete the anniversary celebrations a good look at the big ra1lyat Old Warden Park in September. The complete film lasts about 2 hours and is available on DVD or VHS Tape for a price of £16.95 including post and packing. If you would like a copy please send a cheque or postal order payable to "Roger Newbery" at Roger Newbery Videos, PO Box 4490, Ringwood, Hants. BH24 2XY 111.entioningwhether you would like the DVD or VHS.

MAIL BAG

Dear Editor,

On the 14th and 15th of October me and my friend Stuart (who n1_jghtbe joining the club) went to The Old Mill Steam Rally. On the Saturday there was a road run through the New Forest. There were 34 engines. l know it doesn't sound many but it was held in a car park of a pub. Before we started we were direcled to a country lane and at the bottom was a car park and minibus. The minibus took us to the pub. When we got there all the engines were on the run apart from three. We all piJed back into the minibus and back up the lane to my dad's car. On the roadsides there were yellow arrows telling you and the engine steersman which way to go and we had to follow them. The engines first stopped at Leap, they were there for over an hour. During that hour I had a photo taken on one miniature called Ivor owned by Ray Hoskins.

It was lunch time and I took photo's of some of the engines, then the engines set off for a pub on a country lane, stopping on the way to fill up with coal and water. About 45 minutes later the first glimpse of smoke appeared. The first engine was a Foden Wagon. Stuart and I had a race with it and we won. Soon all the other engines started to appear. They all parked on the side of the road. There were many Showman's. We had a photo on most of them. Then we headed back. Back at the pub all the engines got into a space. All the Showman's lined up and one powered an organ. All too soon it was over. We didn't need to wait another year because we went the next clay.

Bradley Evans, aged 10

Dear Editor,

I have just had a brilliant weekend at the West? of England Steam Fair. I have had tours from steam engines all clay and helping on Bryan Thomas's steam engine Berkswell. I even got to do some cleaning. I had a great weekend and I hope you enjoy reading this.

Ch1is Targett.

Dear Editor,

I would like to tell you about our new engine that my dad has just bought. It is a 3" scale Aveling & Porter road tractor that we renamed Prince and also has an A & P trailer. My dad has also built an open top living van so my sister and I can ride along behind. My dad is steam mad and has lots of Stuart Turner static engines and a 16mm railway in the garden. This year after we visited several miniature steam events and the Great Dorset Steam Fair he was lucky enough to be able to show our very own road loco. It has tax and insurance and registration plates and we had great fun learning to drive it, keep the fire going and not run out of water.

We are now looking forward to next year's season and want to go to lots of shows and events; especially at Amberley chalk pits which is very close to us. I am a recent member of the SAC a11cl I am hoping to learn and drive and fire our engine (with dad's help). I hope to meet lots of nice people at next year's shows.

WINNER OF THE 2006 OVER 16s PHOTOGRAPH COMPETITION AND THE DORSET SHIELD

Here we feature the three photographs which together won the Competitionand the Dorset Shieldfor Nick Bosworth. This is a much deserved result.The pictures are sharp and well exposed • whilst being of a difficultand interesting subject. The photographsare all of Nick's Uncle,John Bosworth'sFoster TractionEngineNo. 14410 'Sprig'of I 920. Older apprenticesmay remember that John is a former SACChairmanand the engine is the one which the popular 4 inch scale Fosteris based upon. It is particularlypleasingthat his nephew has producedthis brilliantand interestingset of photographswhich has won for him the above mentioned awards.Over the winter 2005/2006 part of 'Sprig's'boiler

The pictures show: above left, the removal of the boilertubes. Nick's father ljohn's brother) is cutting away the ends of the tubes in the smokebox whilst Nick is taking the photograph whilstsitting in the firebox!

Above right, is a photograph looking through the front tube plate towards the firebox after the tubes have been removed - effectivelyseeing into the boilerbarrel.

Left, is a stunning picture showing Nick's father cutting the heads off the rivets from the smokebox so that it may be removed from the front of the boiler. Getting the exposure and composure just right so that you can see the effect of the cutting torch, yet still showing Nick's father, well lit and in focus, is a first class achievement. A well deserved result!

Nathan Chambers explainingto Grandadhow to f,re his engine. By the time he is old enough, Nathan should be quite some engine driver on the road.

Dear Editor,

I have only been an SAC member for a year. I went to my first driving day at Dingles Steam Village. It was great fun. My family and I have been to the Great Dorset Steam Fair and stayed camping for a week. I had a chance to steer and drive some engines on the TJ1ursday evening. It was great fun. I have had a great year with the rallies that have been going on around Devon and Cornwall and I have made some great friends this year and I hope to see them again soon.

Emma Sluggett, aged 15, Bideford Devon.

Dear Editor,

On the 23rd and 24th of September there was an end of season steam-up road run for club members, held at Mike Gain-Burrill's farm, Chainnan of the Great Yorkshire Traction Engine Club, to Kirkby via Faceby and Carlton. The weather couldn't be better. When Royal Sovereign. was coming out of the shed it got its wheels caught in the door runner and sheared a tooth of its driving cog. So that was one less to start with.

After sorting that out they gradually set off. First was the roller Luci and Stuart Richie's Foden. Second was Mann tractor Brink Burn Lass and Albion. About an hour later Fowler no. 9055 turned up just as we were leaving Carlton. On Albion there were two

crews because of what happened to Royal Sovereign. When we got to Kirkby there were a few miniatures that obviously set off well before the rest of them.

Richard Warren, aged 12, Yann

Aveling & Porter Roller 'Luci' entering Kirkby with road van in tow. The van carries a registration plate which, according to my Traction Engine Register,belongsto a Fowler!

Last year a lathe was offered to any apprentice who thought they may be able to restore it to working condition. The lathe did find a new home and this is the result.

Dear Nanette, Niall Byrne was the apprentice who was selected to have the lathe.

I thought that you may like to see the appreciative letter which he wrote when he had installed the lathe and completed his first turning job.

More photos from the 2006 PhotographicCompetition.Here we have a montage of three photographsof showman'sengines taken at the 2005 Great Dorset Steam Fair.These, from Scott Burchfield,gainedhim third place in the 16 years old and over category.

Dear Mr Barraclough.

T am very pleased to inf01m you that the lathe that you so kindly gave to me is now up and running. I have spent a lot of time sorting it out and have now got it into full working condition. I have made my first piece on it which went very well indeed and I look forward to making my next piece. l cannot thank you enough for your generosity and look forward to meeting you in the future, possibly at a show. Thank you very much.

On the back cover of this edition of Raising Steam,, is a photograph of Ave ling & Porter 6 nhp co,npound tractor No. 10722 of 1923. This engine, built as a tract01; ran as a roller for some time.

But what is the significance of this picture to you? Well, from the next issue of Raising ,,. Steam 1--veshall be starting a new series of articles, being the ABC of engine builders. The idea is that we feature a particular mani{facturer each edition. Apart from starting with the letter 'A' there is another reason why we should start with Aveling & Porter. This will be revealed in the article. Howeve1; whilst we shall be providing articles and photosfj-0111. within our own resources, we would really like to feature pictures and any snippets of information you may like to share with your fellow apprentices. NOW is the time for you to send your pictures and notes about Aveling & Porter engines to the Editor.'

MORE COMPETITION RESULTS

Here we see two more of the 2006 Colouring Competition winning entries. Above is second placed entry in the over 12s category - James Bailey, whilst below, in the under I 2s, we have third placed entry from Robert Hand .

SIMON SAYS SIMPLE from Simon Beat

In the Traction Engine (Locomotive Type) boiler there are three major doors, the way you maintain and use these doors dictates whether you ru:e controlling the boiler or it is controlling you. In this article I am going to talk about one of them; the smokebox door. The smoke box door MUST be airtight. Air leaking in at this end destroys the smokebox vacuum, which results in poor steaming, and secondary combustion, which results in paint burning off. All of which means poor converting of fuel into steam, as the fire is at the wrong end! A quick test for the smokebox door is to take strips of paper and trap them around the edge of the door. Figure 1:

rIf these strips of paper can be pulled out easily then air can surely leak in. A quick and effective cure is to take a thick newspaper, not like the Sunday Sport or the Sun (these may be thick, no reference to the content or editorial staff but tabloid newspapers are too small), you need broadsheet newspapers like the Times. Open out the paper and punch a hole in the centre for the dart to fit through. See Figure 2:

Soak the newspaper thoroughly in water and fit it to the smokebox door. Close the door (carefully) trapping the soaked newspaper tightly between the two faces. Light the fire and keep checking the tightness of the door regularly. When the paper is dry around the edge trim the waste off, you now have a good tight smokebox door till you can refit it properly.
