Steve, I do not know how you manage to do it year after year. Since 2010 I have attended Torbay every year and each year I have thought to myself that surely it can't get any better, yet it does the following year. I would like to say thank you to both you and your committee for arranging such a marvellous selection of engines to entertain us.

Regards,
Tom.

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

They've done it before, and taken part in the Torbay Carnival on the preceding Wednesday.

Looks like a great line up Steve. I'll be there as usual for World's Fair.

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 !!
Note incorrect info :- Andrew William NOT bringing the Marenghi organ as he cant get enough help.
Road run to Brixham is Friday 31st July,

Steve.
