Restoring 10136, 'Daisy Kate'




history board - 83Kb
The photo above is of the board displayed at Onslow Park rally in 1998 and shows pictures taken during the course of restoration. The printed notice in the centre contains the following information:
Manufactured in 1920 and used by REDRUTH BREWERIES to deliver to their chain of Public Houses in Cornwall. The Brewery owned 7 Foden Wagons but 10136 is the only survivor.
Terry Lee of Leicester spent over 25 years assembling and making many parts for 10136 but was unable to complete the project due to his failing health.
Jim and Joan Cook purchased the engine in October 1995, and the photographs show the progress to date.
Terry will be one of the first people to drive the engine and hopefully next year will see 10136 coming to the rally under her own steam.
Detail showing the work yet to be carried out (taken August 1998). dk2.jpeg - 31Kb
