Steve.

Hello Tom,
Will let you know early next week, but may i say its looking very good again this year, and i have taken one new entry for next year !!!!

Steve.

Sorry to hijack but talking of Torbay rally... what day is the run into Brixham and up the hill this year ?

Thanks Steve, a tantalising answer as usual! TSF is the only steam rally which I attend every year as it is very good and has a different selection of engines every time. I am looking forward to attending this year and trying out my new digital camera.

Regards,
Tom.

Its always on the Saturday night, sorry but only one Showmans this year ! but others will be joining to go up the famous hill,

Now i think thats what you call a fine list of engines !!
Note : This year we have 3 steam powered rack saw benches, a steam powered arm saw, all wood being loaded by steam, stone crushing by steam, 2 working threshing sets both steam powered, ploughing with steam and Diesel, plus the haulage area. We also will have "Victory" the Verbeeck organ and the very newly restored 98 key Marenghi organ of Andrew Williams.
Saturday evening will also see some of the engines travel to Brixham, and take the box trucks up the hill to the green !!

Nightmare alleges never goes on a low loader. Since it was at Wiston, that's a long way to Torbay?

They'll be there I don't doubt, and they will road it all the way!
