Wasn't going to go this year but a mate turned up and we went up (despite the awful weather). Place was a bog and numbers well down on last year, but I took a few pics of the legendary 3830. Still looking great

Les

Nice.

Wallace

Thanks for posting Shaun

I took one look at the Radar Sat morning and decided not to go due to the weather

COOOOOOL!!! wish we had stuff like that in SA our SteamRangers (520 etc) are all out of action....just boring old railcars or even worse diesels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a great loco . im not really into locos so it really annoys me to see the engines coupled up like that. i like to see them with their funnels facing the front. i know because of limited track they do that because of turntables ect. but it does spoil the look of the train overall.

great loco+ great photo.

It is always worth suffering a little bad weather to see such an engine, real nice. Wish I could have been there too, thanks for posting.

James

Oooo that looks great

steamyjim

Brilliant loco!

Reminds me of the SR Merchant Navys

thanks all for the comments. It was a shame my camera decided to die as there we traction engines (including a lovely Marshall) rumbling around and interesting displays of early agricultural engines.
