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

Thanks for posting Shaun
I took one look at the Radar Sat morning and decided not to go due to the weather _________________

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. _________________ difficult things done straight away...the impossible takes me a little longer |

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. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

| 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. |
