Six Forum members attended the petrie Steam Shed today. It was good to catch up with Graham and hear about his recent trip.  Clinton ran his new gas engine, which reminded me of a BSA Bantom.  I ran two of my Bowmans an M158 and a Luton PW203.  A good day was had by all.   Here are a few pics and two videos, enjoy

Some very fine engines there, but I think the best thing about that picture is Clinton's look of total concentration!
