Little Ellingham Vintage Show 11 & 12 August 2018

[Arfursteam]

This was another first for me this year, had a great time on the Saturday when the weather was just right. Plenty to see and do, great atmosphere, laid back and friendly. Very little high vis presence telling where to go and what to do, back to the good times before H & S when common sense ruled.

Great time great show well done to the committee, keep up the good work for a good cause.

Enjoy

Just to add to the information above, the engine isn't based in Wymondham but close by. She has been renamed 'Fort Robert' by the current owner, and although doesn't attend as many events as other engines, travels to all she does attend under her own steam. This year in addition to Little Ellingham she attended the Bressingham Gala.

Is she attending any other rallies as I would love to have a look, I haven't seen a full size version of my engine before as the one mine is based on is in the middle of a major overhaul.

Matt, I'm not sure she will be at any other rallies this season, possibly the local end of year pub run but I'm not certain of that! Sorry i can't be of more help!
