davidb Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks to the people who run the Gardner Engine Forum for organizing this (free) event, I really enjoyed my visit. It was an excellent choice of venue in all respects. It was also very interesting to be shown round the bone mill whilst it was in steam - it must have been a hideous place to work in 100 years ago with the danger, the smells and the dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Sam Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Why did the stationary engines have wheels? The gas hose is over a metre long, BSS fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRLMK38 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 You appear to have caught me polishing brass, that makes it a very rare picture indeed. I was shamed in to it .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesthenuke Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 This was a great weekend. About 20 narrowboats with Gardner engines were there, organised by the Gardner Engine Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
