Just got back form the Pickering steam rally, second largest to Dorset Iv been told.

I had a decent time but it was so big and the engines where really spread out so I didnt even see half of the show

but heres the pics I took before the camera packed up










this was my fav part because this whole collection was owned by a 13 year old lad who know his stuff and had quite abit to say and had restored quite a few of them himself, it was really nice to see a young lad taking such an active interest in the hobby.

he did say he had had trouble finding parts, of course I told him about the forum and he wrote down the address so I hope he will pop in  







more traction pics


fancy a short life?  then ride the wall of death!




pic of me sister holding an owl  



I also scored a load of Tuxcraft buildings for my extension and got a parafin lamp and oil can for a couple of quid

Hi Jack,

I have done a little tidy up on the last post as people were missing your hello message

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum. You have a wonderful collection for someone your age
