Great Dorset Steam fair 2nd-6th Sept Heads Up!!!

I will be there again this year with the railway flying the Forum Flag!!!  Anyone else going?  You are all welcome around or in the railway for a natter or even a play!!

Great chance to see Janus the Fairlie in Action - but I must remember to take about 3x the quantity of meths I did last year!

I may not have any spare space in the caravan this time, as I have a few people travelling with me this year.

Believe me, that really is not much of a joke! You can see the smoke for miles!

For anyone who wants to know what the fuss is about, here is a reminder from last year:
