Last knockings from the '08 Dorset Fair says Ron Johl. "Hello Brian, here's Mark Walker's Super Atlantic (well I could hardly leave a Rotinoff out could ?) double-heading John Attlee's Scammell."

And now a new one for Biglorryblog as Ron adds: "The AEC Mogul 12.5-litre. ex-recovery vehicle back-converted to a tractor unit pulling a Taskers 1948 step frame trailer and on the back is a 1970  Aveling- Barford 26-ton dumper rescued from a scrapyard and all in superb condition." Nopw click through here for a classic 2hp plogher...

Ron continues: "1948 Scammell showmans tractor and the power house.... "

"Its Gardner 105-hp 6cyl. oil engine was so clean if it were on its side you could eat your dinner off it!"

"And finally" says Ron sounding like Sir Trevor McDonald  "Where all 'transportation' started.  2x1hp ploughing engines cheap to run and almost maintanence free. I'm of to The Dorset fair for three days so hopefully i will find something interesting to post on my return.Ron." And don't forget the 'emissions' are good for the rhubarb too Ron!
