Foxfield Steam Railway Traction Engine party
 

We went to this over the weekend, I think the event was really on Today. We drove over on saturday morning, and on to Klondyke this evening. Some photos for you to enjoy.


Mr Dakin had a pair of Paxman portables on site, this is the rusty one.

And this is the shiny one. Burning wood all day today he had no need to chop any wood, the bits too long for the rusty one were simply put in the shiny one.

And another Savage for you boys to oggle. This one is soon to look as good as the last one seen on the trailer, it is already mechanically as nice and has been in service all summer.

and this Burrell, whos owner was very kind and I think just about any child who showed an interest got a ride or a drive/steer.

I keep being told by my eldest that one would be better than a pony......

Keep finding myself agreeing.

Jerry was a star all weekend with kids, the little Burrell did some miles.
