Just got back from the first day (for me anyway!) and it is a great show 
I had a really good chat with Phil from Forest Classics, and I came away with a music box (of simple design) for a tenner, and he chucked in a driving band for nout
Just got to find the time to fire up an engine and run the music box now  No pictures today, but I will endeavour to take some tomorrow 
I met up with Chris Moody, who owns a fair few Garratt's to say the least  The John Britain, coal fired ones are definitely something to behold  I think he has also convinced me to fire my SL3  Which I might add is in mint and unfired condition

Phil is a legend!
Without him I'd have two buggered up TE1v's 
Glad you had a good time MTA, steady on with the SL3 though

I am not going to ModelWorld today, I didn't tell you this last night but I fell off my bike on the way home due to some ignorant motorist who doesn't know your not allowed to get that close to a cyclist when overtaking...
So this morning I have a splitting headache and it is rather painful to walk

Sorry to hear that Si, hope nothing too serious
Cars and Bikes dont mix well, once I learnt to drive I realised how vulnerable bikers are |

Nothing too serious luckily just bruises. My front light copped it the worst, as the back has been smashed off exposing the batteries
James, it was dark on the way home (despite a clear sky and the moon was shining brightly) so I couldn't get a glimpse of his licence plate

Nah, I am waiting for a 'proper' vehicle (don't shoot!).
Tom, I think when I am legal to drive a car and have a licence the bike will only be used in the summer
