Great Northern Steam Fair - 14 April 2013
 

I visited the Great Northern Steam Fair today at Beamish which is a long trip for me (long trip for most people!) It is the first time I have visited Beamish.

The dull conditions put pay to any exceptional photographs which I have seen other people produce in previous years but I had a good time watching the engines circulate and talking to numerous TT members.

Here are a few pics:

Aveling & Porter 3315 - first time I have seen it in steam!

Thanks Arthur.

I went to Steam Plough Club meeting on Saturday with plenty of accompanying steam, so I will post a selection of pics taken there later.

David, I havent seen that Aveling Barford before, has it only got one coal tank?

Had a brilliant day on Saturday at Great Northern Steam Fair. Plenty of super engine there, enjoyed watching Duke of York in the Pit Village. In fact enjoyed everything. Super Super day :) :)

Had a superb day there on Friday enjoyed the tour of behind the scenes in the tram shed.
Beamish has changed since I was last their.
Nice to see 3315 in steam

Good to see the Big Mac. Love the name plate on the tool box.

Nice Ransomes as well.
