Great Northern Steam Fair - 14 April 2013 - Traction-Talk

Steam Scenes · #1 Post / In Thread 14th April 2013, 08:35 PM

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!

Sentinel Waggon 1465

McLaren 1110, looking absolutely A1 as normal:

Foden 13218, a local engine:

Foden 13218 and Marshall 17134 in the background:

Aveling-Barford Road Roller in the station yard:

Ransomes Sims & Jefferies 24585, "Northern Star" in brief moment of sunshine:

Aveling & Porter 11145 "Ayesha":

Another of of McLaren 1110:

And finally Fowler 17106 "Duke of York":

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.

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
