If you had made the effort to go (who wears the trousers in your house? ) you would have seen it is a scale version Thomas.

WOW,

All I can say, what a show! You Cornish boys have got an amazing show! Very jealous, the show was well layed out, lots to see, great exibits, engine movement, great venue and lots of SUN!!!!!!

And a superb version too - I mentioned my commentary that I took a similar ground level shot to Steve's at Abbey Hill, and apart from the number plate you can hardly tell the difference. Built and owned by Bill Kiddell - a ten year effort.

As others have said, a fantastic weekend - excellent weather, superb surroundings and the usual unbeatable Cornish welcome, friendliness and camaraderie. My first time as commentator at Boconnoc, and I was delighted to be asked back for next year.
Thanks all!

Looking at those pics John, I'll be offering to carry your bags.......

Lol! For once, Matt, I can't think of a suitable reply!!!!! Mind you, at my age, you might have to carry me to my commentary point soon.....

It's a do I've always fancied doing. Perhaps we now have the ideal excuse what with owning a Cornish engine.....

Hi John, as you say an excellent rally in all ways, we have been going for a number of years but this years was the best - more than happy to do the 220 miles each way.
By the way we were at Langport for the 3 days near the lowloader park but couldnt get up to the arena due to the mud.
