Goldsmith May 2018
 

Here are a few pictures from the latest Lake Goldsmith Rally.

They had a bit of a theme for the CFA this year. Country Fire Authority.

Had a few fire engines we don't normally see. Check them out.

This engine posed just right in the early morning sun.

Very different from how it looked the first time I saw it.

Meantime most people were busy getting their breakfast.

I got this shot when I returned to my hut. It shows about a third of the line.

There are as many behind me as you can see and the same again further down the road behind the trees on the left.

It was a very nice morning.

The final group of picks for this time anyway show A Foden Road Loco which is under restoration.
Owner is doing a fantastic job and is going to a lot of trouble to preserve as much of the original fabric of the machine as he can.
Lots of interesting period features on this one. The pumping engine on the footplate is not something I have seen before.

This machine has a lovely big wood basket on the back which is in great condition.
Took some extra pics of that for all of those who have not seen one before. ;)
