Son and I have just got back from Dorset. We had a wonderful time. The highlights included having a long chat with a chap about his miniature engines and two circuits of the playpen in a trailer pulled by a traction engine.

If it works here are some pictures, titles below.

Huge and interesting collection but a sorely neglected exhibit, all dirty, none polished.


Son and heir No3 deciding on his Christmas present.


This and the following is the view from the playpen, up close and smoky!

Great pics.

Too near my Canada trip this year though.

Very good pictures and I was speaking to someone who has been there all this week and he said it is nice and muddy at the moment.
