Left home at 8am and arrived about 9.30am, already a good selection of engines there. Offloaded ours onto the line and parked the car up. Hospitallity was brilliant, hot tea or coffee in proper cups and scones (all free). Well organised raffle was held about 2pm. All packed up and gone by 2.30pm. For those that were going to go but missed it enjoy the photo's in the usual place:-

Andy,

Thanks for posting these exellent photos. A good and varied selection of engines. Have you any info/ date of manufacture on the single flywheel A/B type in the fiirst picture, looks like a very early one.
Cheers Paul.

Hi Mike,
That flywheel repair looks interesting - was it professionally done? I would have classed that as beyond repair.
