Annual Stirling Engine Rally at Broomy Hill Waterworks Museum Hereford

[Chipmaster]

The annual Stirling Engine Rally is on Sunday 28th September at the Broomy Hill Waterworks Museum in Hereford.

https://www.waterworksmuseum.org.uk/

The museum’s engines will be in steam and the Hereford Society of Model Engineers is next door.

Please say hello to me if you visit, I’ll have my Robinson, Heinrici, Rider Ericsson and Bremen hot air engines plus Chuk flame gulping Engine.

Situated adjacent to the Waterworks Museum is the Hereford Society of Model Engineers site https://hsme.co.uk/. They are having a public running day on the same day Sunday 28th September - a large track and well worth visiting.

A little far for me, but I would love to see photos.

Some pictures taken at the Stirling Engine Rally. Sunday 28th September.

Not as many exhibitors and visitors compared with previous years. Contrary to their advert the museum was not in steam, someone said there was a fault with the boiler. I had a disaster as I trundled my exhibits along on a cart - my Heinrici fell off, landed on a flywheel and bent the crankshaft. My other four engines survived. That was the first engine I made about 35 years ago. 

My display.

Great photos and a Scott Flame Gulper which I have battled with over the last few weeks; clealry they must run! 

Really sorry to hear about the damage to your engine, I see you fixed it, well done 

[Chipmaster]

Yes Sanjay I made a new crank and had the engine running again by Tuesday afternoon.
The owner of the Scott Flame Gulper couldn't get his to run on the day.

Great pics Andy and good to see you got the Heinrici fixed up again, it must have been gut-wrenching when it fell off the trolley 

[Dave Otto]

Thanks for the photos Andy, and sorry about the mishap with the Heinrici engine. Appears that you got it sorted.

Thanks for the photos Andy. 

Two of our Robinson B4 replicas and both the same colour ( almost)

Nice job on the crankshaft….

Thanks Andy for the pictures. You can see some beautiful models there.

That accident must have been very annoying. But you fixed it well.

Thanks for the pics Andy! Good to see you were able to get your engine repaired and running so well again.
