Ransome 21570 · Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2009 8:09 pm Post subject: Hello from Dorset

Hello,
After being recomended this site many times, I thought it was time to join. I am Jim Gerrard from Burton, Christchurch in Dorset and I am 15 years old.
I have a Mamod collection which consists of about 14 engines and lots of accessories and trailers which I take to lots of my local rallies and some other larger rallies. We also own Vintage tractors, stationary enignes and two full-size engines - Aveling & Porter steam tractor no.11423 and Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies portable no.21570. The Aveling is currently being restored back to a tractor (from being converted to a roller in its working life) and the Ransomes is awaiting restoration.
