My pair of steamers

Firstly the Baldwin



and the Sissons




I know a fair bit about the history of the Sissons.  It was built in the 70s for Exeter University as a teaching engine.  It was rescued and eventually came to me.  The Baldwin is apparently a 1874 engine but I don't know much of it's history.  Now all I need is a boiler!

2 very nice engines looking forward to seeing a video of them running.

Stu.

that's something you don't see very often on the rally field. Ive only seen one in the flesh!

Hopefully I'll persuade one of the full size steamers to 'lend' me some steam next time I have them at a rally.  Unfortunately the trailer that the Baldwin is on isn't really suitable and doesn't tow well, so we are looking at alternative options.  Personally I want to get a Scammell mechanical horse and put the Baldwin, Sissons and Boiler directly on the trailer but my boyfriend might try to claim it for his Scammell collection!

What a lovely pair of engines. If I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the Sissons. Looks like a very compact unit. Although I suppose a boiler will probably make it slightly less so .

Love it. You don't see enough steam stationary engines about, although I can understand why.
