Portsmouth Historic Steam Show – PicturesThought I would post these pictures of a lovely day out a few of the forum members had today. We visited the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Steam fair, I met up with Jay Minor and his daughter, but Will was off driving engines somewhere and I did not see him before I left.Anyway as you can see the weather was lovely and all had a good day. Although a bit disappointing from the “Toy Steam” side of things as the organisers had not invited anyone to exhibit from our hobby. There were a few model boat clubs exhibiting along with the miniature rail enthusiasts but not much else. Anyway the sight of full size live steam with a backdrop of HMS Victory was a true sight to behold. "Steamy" had a good day as well – click here to see his own thread http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/ftopic15359-0-asc-45.php

How do they stoke the Thorney ? |

I notice there were hoses hooked up to Thorney, was it pumping? | ||

No as I live local I have been on the Victory before. They stoke the Thorney at the base of the Boiler there is a large access door behind that wheel and they stoke it from there. Sorry John but I did not see it pumping, but the operator told me its in full working order.
