This is the penultimate video.
This time a Bing 6 sided Fountain c 1930.
You have to look closely as the water doesn't show up well in the video. 
You can just see it splashing on the table.

Fortunately, this one seems complete with sausages and pulley. But you'll know before me, John.

That one is complete Richard.

Unfortunately or maybe not, this is the last video I took off the afternoon.
Another one for Richard, this time a Wilesco Striker 2007.
The batteries ran out before I got to run this one, hope you like it Richard and that your one arrives soon.

I will photograph and study the sausagemaker before shipping it out.
Do you need to replace the scissors on the sharpening guy often? I saw sparks so assume that it time it would wear down.

I did run more engines after I stopped filming.
These were the Jensen #76, which ran ok, but it and I need to run more to learn it foilbles.
I also ran the #76 with the #15, but it was struggling, all three Jensens need running in.

The sparks you saw was from a lighter flint which fit into the scissors to make it look as if the scissors are being sharpened.

The last engine to run was the Bowman M158 which I recently got off e-bay. This too was it's first running since I got it, and it ran like the clappers, so much so, that I had to clamp it to the table to stop it dancing away. I was really impressed with the way it ran and the fact that there is nothing wrong with it.

All too soon though it was 4 o'clock and time to pack away, and even although it had been raining, sleeting, snowing and cold, I had a very enjoyable day, enhanced by meeting the forum members. 
Already thinking about camping next year so that there is no early start and no rush as such to get organised and set up.

Thanks Les,
Great collection. No wonder MTA couldn't get near for photos/
Andrew and I would like to come over to attend and maybe exhibit at your next major event. Not in snow however. 
Is there any thing happening in summer that would attract the majority of forum members and be central to the UK? Meeting the members would be of even greater importance than their impressive collections.

To end the day, my friends, other half and myself then went into Farnham for a meal, which was very enjoyable, so after an 7.30am start, we didn't arrive home until 10.30pm and then still had to drop off home my granddaughter and then unload the car.
It then took another hour and a half to download pictures and video's ready for tonights posting, so I was very tired today.
Cannot wait to do it again, this time at the end of September.

Thankyou Richard, I am not sure about events yet, but if I find any I will let you know.
