If I can add a few more photos onto this thread, for me the two miniature ploughing engines working in amongst the full size engines were one of the absolute highlights of this excellent show. They looked and sounded superb, and I think drew a lot of interest from the public. Barleylands was excellent as usual, although engine numbers were slightly down I understand, but with really good working areas. Really good to meet you Arthur, also Mark and Ruth Vine again (many thanks for the tea and cake and the trundle round on the roller!), and an extra thanks to Jim Stanley for taking me over to his shed especially after the rally to see the excellent progress being made on "Shamrock".
