I

cannot express the feelings of shock and sadness that came with hearing the news of the unexpected passing of the larger-than-life rally character that is Boz Oram. Mechanical music was his thing but he had a love for all things preserved and was well-known and well-loved by so many in the world of preservation. I won’t forget the fun had on readers’ trips with Boz to other countries, the letters, the banter and the History in Harmony ‘round robin’ newsletters that were always full of Boz’s off-beam musings. Boz never uttered a bad word against anyone and in his most recent newsletter he congratulated this magazine on its 25th birthday and myself in particular.

What a shame I didn’t get the chance to thank him for his kind words.

Pinkney’s Green and everywhere that Boz took his Hooghuys organ will be the poorer without his infectious smile and sense of humour. Rest in peace Boz. At long last the mortal remains of the world’s oldest clipper ship, City of Adelaide, have been cradled and towed away from Irvine, Scotland, in preparation for its first international voyage since 1893. After helping to deliver some of the first migrants to South Australia the vessel surely has a more important role to play at its new home in Port

Adelaide to tell the story to future generations than it ever did rotting slowly away in Scotland with no funding on the horizon.

Named Carrick in the 1920s, it will have been reverted to its original name at Greenwich at a rededication ceremony in the company of the Duke of Edinburgh by the time you read this.

Some Scottish museums have not suffered funding issues and there are now some very good award-winning examples, but there is now a scheme afoot for another ‘industrial museum’ in Glasgow – a scheme that would surely spread what is available even thinner.

With Riverside and Summerlee in Glasgow is there a need for another museum? Yes says Steven Raeside of the Scottish Industrial Preservation Trust.

“More pieces of our industrial heritage are disappearing daily and they have to be saved for posterity,” he said. “I’ve recently saved items from the closed and historic Buckie Shipyard and the Odeon cinema in Glasgow – the last Scottish cinema to use film, converted to digital in early September, bringing a great tradition to an end. Without this museum, we will lose a great deal more,” he stressed.

Admirable as that is, we will never be able to save everything that we’d like to.

Continuing with the three-day arrangements, held over September 13-15, despite some overcast and at times very wet conditions, visitor numbers held up.

The hard work in preparing for the show meant that despite midweek rain the event opened on time on Friday morning and car parks were soon filling up. Changes to the show layout included a ‘playpen’ area where engines could let off steam.

regular visitors each year can see a difference and it doesn’t become stagnant for exhibitors either.”

However, there was no steam or tractor ploughing which may have been a disappointment to some.

Another prudent change was an exclusion zone for engines and vehicles around the beer tent and refreshment areas.

Over 100 full sized engines were present, together with some fine examples of miniatures and other classes. The engines having the freedom to roam the parkland is one of the main attractions of this event so it was frustrating for organisers, exhibitors and visitors alike that for much of Saturday no vehicle movements were permitted on the very soft ground.

Garry Scott had brought his Clayton & Shuttleworth road loco No 48656 of 1920, an engine which over the past few years has undergone a complete transformation. In showman’s condition for many years, the engine has been rebuilt to original road locomotive configuration and named Sonsie Quine – for many this engine was the star of the show.

Making a first appearance here was a 1931 Sentinel DG4 steam tractor now owned by the Marchington family. Built as a DG6 for Oldbury Gas Works, it was converted to a tractor in 1933. It was one of the many engines saved for preservation by Edgar Shone and later used by brewers Fremlins for promotional work and it still carries Fremlins livery.

AT DAMP BEDFORDSHIRE RALLY House was given over to examples of the various restoration projects of some of the BSEPS members. These included a Scammell Highwayman and an Allis Chalmers Model B as well as the 1924 Fowler T3 Road Roller Works No 15969, an engine which was still working commercially until 1960. The roller was restored in the 1980s but was severely damaged when it fell off a lorry and was deemed to be an insurance write-off but is slowly coming back together.

Among commercials, Alan Howard’s 1957 Scammell Junior Constructor looked impressive in its new Wimpey livery but from another era came two fine examples of early vehicles. Making their first appearance together and their debut at the event were two International Harvester Auto Wagons. The older

of the two vehicles was built in 1910 and found in Canada and was brought to this country by Goff Radcliffe from East Sussex who completely restored the vehicle to its present condition and is only the second owner of the wagon. The second vehicle is a slightly later version built in 1913 and is owned

by Roy Lipscomb.

Many exhibitors had travelled some distance but not many had come as far as George Sonneborn.

He’d driven for some 13 hours from Bremen, Germany, bringing with him a superbly built 6in scale Burrell crane engine. George estimates that at least 34 people have been involved in its construction; it was previously shown partially complete at Dorset in 2011. Look out for a feature on this fine engine.

Boz Oram

THE PRESERVATION movement has been rocked by the death of former Mechanical Organ Owners Society (MOOS) chairman Robert ‘Boz’ Oram of St Mary Bourne, Hants; on October 1.

An incredible character, Boz was full of life and totally devoted to encouraging young people into organ preservation.

Boz’s involvement with MOOS dates right from the start, when his father, Brian Oram, founded the organisation with Roger Burville. Boz took over as chairman of the society when it was failing. He enlisted the help of Margaret Cook to grab subscriptions. He cleared the committee to make way for younger blood and he set about producing a quarterly magazine, despite no experience of such a role.

Several years later, aer saving the society from bankruptcy, he enlisted a new chairman and editor and he and Linda continued to organise the annual MOOS tours.

Everyone has fond memories of

Boz’s wicked sense of humour, but he had a more serious side. Every History in Harmony tour was executed perfectly, and he ensured everyone had a good time. He put everyone else’s enjoyment first.

Boz’s passion the past few years has been music arranging, particularly for his 57-key Hooghuys ‘Shahrazad’. With no musical knowledge, cigar in mouth, pencil in hand, he spent hours of his life drawing bar lines on to the card, marking out the notes with a scale stick and then punching the holes out. He has made the organ play every style of music that you could ever imagine.

Boz loved ‘Shahrazad’ and the organ repaid him by performing his arrangements perfectly. Four years ago on the MOOS tour, an incredible evening was had in the Kunkells Hall in Haarlem. It was the reopening of the building aer a fire damaged some instruments within the collection.

Boz got the party started with some singing and dancing and everyone had the most

Saturday afternoon, some engines were on the move and a number took part in an unofficial road run to a nearby hostelry. In the evening the funfair was in full swing with the showman’s powering the rides. The day had certainly presented some challenges to the organising committee but in true style the show had gone on. It was also noted by some, rather unkindly in my opinion, that they’d been surprised by another ‘rally first’ – ‘Sunshine Barnes’ taking photos in drizzle!

memorable evening. I remember Boz being almost speechless at how well the evening had gone.

He was delighted to see so many close friendships formed between English and Dutch organ enthusiasts. He knew if everyone shared his ‘no borders or boundaries’ view, the future of preservation would be safe.

Everyone will have countless

fond memories and stories about him, because that was Boz. He never had a bad word to say about anyone or anything.

On behalf of hundreds of people around the world who are already missing him - thank you Boz. Life will never be the same again.

1928 Foden D Type tractor at the Shuttleworth Steam Apprentice Club Weekend in April 2013.

Sheer Perseverance

A Foden timber tractor

Alan Barnes talks to Peter Richardson about his Foden D Type timber tractor and some of its exploits through the preservation years

S

urrounded by a group of enthusiastic members of the Steam Apprentice Club, all armed with polishing cloths, the Foden Timber Tractor looked in danger of having its splendid new livery cleaned back to bare metal. The Foden was just one of the engines which had been made available to the members of the club during the SAC Weekend held last April in the grounds of Shuttleworth House.

The owner of the Foden, Peter Richardson, spent time directing the enthusiasm of his young helpers to those areas which actually needed cleaning, and while they did all the hard work he kindly spent some time for a chat.

I asked Peter about the livery, as the Foden carried the colours of the fictitious Crown Steam Haulage Co – a livery applied to some of the engines owned by Edgar Shone and which derived from the name of the pub that he owned in Cricklewood. As Peter explained: “Edgar was certainly better known as a Sentinel man but before he

38 | NOVEMBER 2013 OLD GLORY

became associated with this tractor he did have another Foden D Type in his collection. That engine is now at Thursford and after Edgar had sold it he swore that he’d never have another Foden – however sometime later he did indeed buy a second Foden and I suppose you could say that my tractor was the one that Edgar never wanted.”

Peter continued: “This Foden D Type Tractor No 13068 Perseverance was built in 1928 and the Foden works records show it to be a standard D Type Tractor. It was received into the ‘garage’ at Sandbach on September 18 and road tested two days later with a report of ‘good’ and it was then despatched on September 30 to its first owner Mrs AL Watkins of Llangattock Wharf, Crickhowell, where it was given the Brecon registration of EU 3764.

“The business run by the Watkins family included general haulage operations as well as lime quarrying and also operated a Foden C Type wagon. This engine suffered

the indignity of being rolled over on to its roof by the driver who apparently was known to ‘like a drop’. The new D Type was put to use on a contract hauling pipes for a local reservoir scheme and the tractor was also used to collect and deliver loads to Abergavenny station. When the pipeline contract came to an end the Foden was returned to the works and it is rumoured that at that time it had not been fully paid for. Back at Sandbach, the D Type was overhauled and subsequently sold on to Langley & Johnson, a firm of general hauliers in Slough.”

With the outbreak of the Second World War, Perseverance was requisitioned by the London County Council and attached to the War Debris Survey Commission – the Foden being used to pull down bomb damaged buildings in the city. ❯

THE RESTORATION

The Foden being stripped down in 1969.

“The Foden was used to pull down bomb damaged buildings in London, during which time it fell down a bomb crater which resulted in a twisted chassis and the repairs can still be seen”

Restoration of this Foden in the preservation years has always been ‘ongoing’. Boiler work is under way.

Extraordinary restoration for an ‘ordinary’ Marshall

Marshall traction engine No 51007 of 1908 was described on the build sheet as ‘ordinary’, but there were some changes made to the basic design prior to it being exported to Tasmania, as Alan Barnes discovered when he talked with its owner, Paul Attwater

S

ince the engine was repatriated from Tasmania in 2002 Marshall traction engine No 51007 has certainly undergone something of a transformation.

For the owner of the engine, Paul Attwater of Burgess Hill, West Sussex, it was a visit to the Great Dorset Steam Fair which marked the beginning of his involvement with this particular Marshall.

As Paul explained: “It all started when I was asked by Jane, who is now my wife, whether I would like to visit the steam fair – and we had a most enjoyable visit.

Previously I had been interested in building race cars and enjoying off-road racing but had decided to retire gracefully from that pursuit... and that visit to Dorset turned my thoughts to something rather more sedate.

“Rather than zooming around the countryside in a racing car I rather fancied buying and restoring a traction engine of my own. As well as opening up some new engineering ‘horizons’ for me it would also allow me to preserve a small part of British industrial engineering.

“Jane made some enquiries through Michael List-Brain at Preston Services and

When the drawings came they turned out to be for the third speed version so Paul made the decision to fit the engine with this and Percival Engineering made the new gears. The canopy name is ficticious.

he sent a catalogue of the engines which were available at that time. Having had a good look at what was on offer I selected Marshall Traction Engine No 51007, but by the time I contacted Michael again the engine had already been sold to a new owner on the Isle of Wight.

“Somewhat disappointed that my chosen engine had slipped through my hands it was a while before I started looking around again – after all, I had a full time job and buying an engine was not something to be rushed into. Time passed and it was a while later that a new Preston Services catalogue arrived and I saw that the Marshall had been re-listed... so I contacted Michael immediately. The engine was still available, the deal was done and No 51007 was brought to Sussex.”

The engine was originally built for export and is described as a “Marshall Ordinary Traction Engine 6nhp” although in some

documentation it is referred to as being an 8nhp engine (and 5hnp in the Traction Engine Register). It was built in 1908 and shipped to Tasmania where it was first inspected on January 6, 1909, before being delivered to its first owner George Emery.

According to the build details, Marshall had made some changes to its basic design and these included the fitting of larger wheels to give more ground clearance, a hinged chimney, a half length awning and loco firehole doors so it could be fired with lumps of timber.

The Marshall worked in the Oatlands and Campbell Town area in central Tasmania and was mainly used for threshing and chaff cutting duties. It was subsequently bought by a Mrs VH Briggs, although the date of the sale is not recorded.

The engine worked until the late 1940s or early 1950s and there is no record of any boiler inspection after May 18, 1950. ❯

his Ruston & Hornsby 8 HRE engine served its time at Newtownards Airport, Co Down, at the northern tip of Strangford Lough, 10 miles east of Belfast. This important airfield has a fascinating history dating back over 100 years.

In the early 1900s Harry Ferguson was a pioneer of flight in Ireland and his antics were in demand across the country. It was in June 1911 when he was invited by the committee of the North Down Agricultural Society, whose show was at Newtownards, to display his flying skills. However, at that time there was no airfield in the area.

There became a need for an airfield in Co Down and the search for land began; the

North of Ireland Flying Club had been formed in the summer of 1928, for which a permanent home was required.

At the end of 1933, the 7th Marquis of Londonderry, who was Secretary of State for Air, announced that 50 acres of land from his Mount Stewart Estate would be made available to build an aerodrome and the club was invited to make this its home. By the summer of 1934 the airfield was up and running, with the first plane landing being a de Havilland Gipsy Moth piloted by Scotsman Fred McNeill.

Margaret, Mairi and Helen Stewart also made use of this new facility when they flew from London to their family home at

Ruston worksplate.

The engine is all self-oiling as long as the reservoirs are filled as the crankshaft and camshaft are ring oiled, as is the outrigger bearing, but the piston, gudgeon and big end bearing are total loss.

Left: The twenty-pence piece, which has stood on the engine since it was installed, has never fallen over when the vibration-free engine is run.

“

I was more ambitious and foolhardy than I am today and in my younger days I simply didn’t see any forthcoming problems.

” Hornsby engine Mount Stewart, just a few miles away, on July 31 aboard a Hillman airliner.

With the outbreak of the Second World War the airfield was used for military purposes but during the postwar years the site became neglected with minimal flying being undertaken until a renewed and lasting interest started again in the early 1950s – and the site is still home to the North of Ireland Flying Club.

The site, which was built on reclaimed marshland at the top of Strangford Lough, was actually lower than the level of the lough itself; consequently whenever there was a very high tide or the prevailing winds blew across the lough, the airfield would regularly become flooded. The water would come in over the airfield and Comber Road, yet today, due to a slight tilt in the axis of the earth, the water has receded a little and the site now rarely floods.

Therefore, a means was required to help keep the airfield free of sea water from high tides during the mid 1930s and especially during the war years as the airport had to be

kept operational. A Ruston & Hornsby 8 HRE engine was purchased, installed at the site and used for driving a large centrifugal pump connected to a 15in cast iron pipe.

A series of underground drains across the airfield fed into a large underground tank.

The engine was housed in its own dedicated building and when required was started by its keeper, the late John Kisby, to pump the flood water from the tank out through the embankment and back into the sea.

When the Second World War was over, a different means of pumping the floodwater was employed. The new system installed consisted of a large electric pump and a bunded canal which was stepped in concrete so that it could hold vast amounts of water. Consequently, the Ruston & Hornsby which had been installed in 1934 was retired in the mid-1950s and was simply laid up until 20 years later when its present owner acquired it.

A close friend of Ronnie Deering, the late Martin Agnew, who was interested in stationary engines, knew of the redundant

Ronnie has never seen steam coming out of the cooling tanks situated outside; the tanks manufactured by James Mackie & Sons of Belfast were designed for when the engine worked hard. Today they could probably run with just one cooling tank.

Ruston and arranged a visit to the site.

Ronnie picks up the story: “At that time I was a little bit more ambitious and foolhardy than I am today, in my younger days nothing seemed to be a challenge or I simply didn’t see any forthcoming problems. I was interested in this big engine, it seemed such a shame that one day the scrapman would be called in to cut it up, resulting in another piece of our heritage disappearing. My home is close to Strangford Lough so I contacted Lady Bury of Mount Stewart, who owned the land and the engine, to arrange a meeting.

“Fortunately, Lady Bury agreed to sell the engine to me but there was one stipulation. As long as I agreed to restore and reinstate the Ruston & Hornsby on my farm making it available for fellow enthusiasts to visit and see the engine running, then the estate would sell it to me. The decision did not take long to make; I quickly became the proud owner of a lot of heavy duty metal and I could see a lot of hard work ahead of me.” ❯ OLD GLORY NOVEMBER 2013 | 67
