Old Glory Magazine  |  Jan-23
We look at the replica of the first road steam vehicle in the world, which was created in 1770 by French army captain Nicholas Cugnot.
He didn’t find much fame and fortune from his invention, 252 years ago now, but if he was alive now, it would certainly be different. Having seen one of the two replicas in action at Locomotion Cassuade over 22-23 October in southern France, the editor was nothing but impressed with his amazing FIRST in the world.
In our news section we travel to North Dublin, to the Hoey’s Christmas open weekend, which raised over 100,000 Euros for various charities and where the Keegan’s 1926 Fowler 8hp compound No. 15659 Kilmolin Princess was in steam, mingling with the John Deere, Massey Ferguson and Ford classic tractor gems here.
Aveling steam tractor No. 12766 Orinoco, with teenager Dylan Jones taking the controls. Dylan tells us his own story with this engine.
We then look at the largest display of steam traction ever in France, taking place at Cassuade in October and featuring: Fowler, Marshall Ruston, Ransomes, Pecard, Brouhot, Merlin, SFV, Allchin and others here. In our Events Roundup section we go to Rempstone and see Burrell Lord Nelson debut at Powderham Castle, Kenton near Exeter.
We review the 2022 Steam Ploughing Scene P2 with 1873 Fowler No. 1908 debuting at the Weald of Kent Ploughing Championships at Hawkenbury, near Headcorn on 17 September.
In our Miniature Scene we continue to see how David Chapman is progressing building his 6in Foden six-wheeler. We also see miniature steam at Abbey Hill and travel to Hastings for the miniature railway gala.
