Jim has become a regular attendee at the Sodbury Sortouts, which are held each spring and autumn as a way of redistributing the old-iron related junk around the country. At this one, there were no great engine bargains to attract him, but a nice little stash of pumps, lamps and other assorted stuff followed him home.

The days' haul, including an air rifle for Tom as payment for some roofing he'd done	A Ruston Hornsby pump, for Jim's twin, Andy, who collects Ruston Hornsbys	A neat little belt driven pillar drill
A solid bronze pump	A Lister deep well pump	A little Stuart pump
A paraffin lamp with shaped bevelled glass	A paraffin road lamp	A petrol can with an unusual breather pipe
