Some pictures and videos of Tilford yesterday.
I arrived at about 10.30 with some friends and we set up in one of the barns.
when we arrived it was cold and wet, and it never got any better during the day, in fact it got worse when it started snowing!!

After setting up, I had a wander round the other buildings where I pleased to meet MTA, Minor1PJG, Steamman, Mamodfan and Colin Laker.
Later on I also met Kritka(Steve) and saw his newly restored Bowman M140.
Apologies for anyone I have missed out as I am lousy at remembering names.

On MTA's table I saw the Jenny Wren and I was amazed at how small it is. Also there was his twin Mamod among plenty of his other nice engines.

Great pictures, if you have more please post them. Your new camera does a great job, maybe has something to do with the operator too.

Not necessarily, John, I'm afraid 
I have a really nice SLR digital still camera, the photos it takes are awesome, but the operator is clueless.

I even managed to find a SEL Lathe, but unfortunately it wasn't for sale.

Sorry, no idea John, but I had this feeling you would like the picture.

The first vidoe I took was the Jensen #75 running the Jensen #15. Although it ran the generator, I did have problems with the engine and getting it to turn the #15.
I put this down to the fact that it was the first time I had fired the #75!
