Abbey Hill Steam Fair.
I was at Yeovil for the weekend playing with a 4" scale Garrett Traction Engine 'Duchess'.

Duchess is a lovely little TE, I envy you for being able to operate it.

WOW
Duchess is really beautiful. Very clean too by the look of it.
Andrew wants one (Can you imagine the shipping charges?)
All that engine and only 35 seconds of video?
Hope there is more
