My 3" Burrell SCC 'Pride of Somerset' is due for it's biannual boiler test, on Friday (it has a steel Briggs boiler) so I thought I'd best fire it up to check that all was well. Of course the temptation to go for a little drive proved irresistible which unfortunately resulted in SWMBO's bulb garden getting flattened when I underestimated the Burrell's turning circle.  The link is to a short video clip of the Burrell in steam. Jim s272.photobucket.com/albums/jj163/Jamandmarge/Burrell%20SCC%20Traction%20Engine/?action=view¤t=mobile.mp4 |

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I can't see the video? If I click on the link the page I go to includes the following: "This video_h264 requires Flash. Go to www.adobe.com/go/getflash to get it! See more »Report inappropriate contentThis was Pride's pre boiler test run Views:39 Jamandmarge " I have the most up-to-date version of Adobe flash installed? Any guidance much appreciated! Regards, A |

Hmmm, I'm not sure what the problem is Alasdair.
The link works when I click it from this site and I know a couple of others have accessed it without a problem. As to the 'inappropriate content' .. the mind boggles.

Worked OK for me, it showed up all the bits alasdairm mentioned, I just clicked on the show as slide show, and away we go, with this old thing I'm usually stranded with an out of date server OE 6. isc

That looks disgustingly clean.

That looks disgustingly clean. With summer on the way I intend to put her back to work then she'll be covered in oil soot and cinders like a proper working engine. The photo was taken by some friends at a rally who could see that herself and me were totally unaware of the overtaking bullock team.  SWMBO wasn't too impressed when she looked up to be confronted by a pair of big brown eyes giving her the once over. I must say I got a shock too as I didn't know the team was coming past and faster than me. Thank heavens I didn't blow the whistle or the proverbial would have really hit the fly wheel. ;D ;D  |
