Default More from Beamish Great North Steam Fair

Great pictures from Puff. Hope nobody minds if I add some more.

A&P roller 'Ayesha'. First time I've seen a roller on rubbers. The lack of 'rolling' noise seemed strange.

Like the policeman controlling the traffic.


Delighted to see the Yorkshire wagon at last.


And the Sentinel from the same stable.


Didn't expect to see anyone I knew so far from home, so pleased to meet the Durlings and 'Morning Star'. Last seen on Lowestoft pier after their remarkable 'Coast 2 Coast for Cystic Fibrosis' trip last year.

Marshall 'Mary Margaret', as in Lampwortroy's roading video, at work on the saw bench.

Robey with an 'ancestor' in the background.


The same in one of the lovely settings at Beamish.


There are lots of pictures of 'Providence', but here's the generator for her head lights.

Heavy traffic.

If you've not been to Beamish, here's an impression of the coalmine area. Just one corner of the hugh site.

Not steam, but possibly the most curious machine. This ugly brute is a 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel steer Latil.

Finally - the hero of the day must have been this chap, riding an 'Ordinary' bicycle over the cobbles and tram tracks of the town.

Pity Beamish is so far from Norfolk, but it's well worth the trip.
Bill.
