Shildon Steam Weekend 14th-15th July
 

Usual steam weekend with a few engines at Vintage Vehicles Shildon's lorry museum on both days 10-4pm

BUT

(subject to usual disclaimers)

I am aiming to have 3315 in steam at the event and in a presentable condition, tender and boiler exams permitting. Maybe even trundling around town a bit after the public have gone home.

To celebrate I hope that local owners will join us, with or without engines, and all on TT who have followed the progress and supported by buying stuff from me, giving advice, selling parts or coming and giving a hand. If all is well, we hope to have a barbecue and a few choice beverages if a local brewer can be persuaded to do a special brew for the occasion.

Hoping you can come - oh yes, there's also a vintage tractor rally at the railway museum on the Sunday if that floats your boat...

Cheers
Anthony

Some have taken me to task for setting a deadline...well, you have to aim for something!

Beer is sorted!

Museum finances suggest that this might be the last year for Vintage Vehicles Shildon, so please come and make it a weekend to remember!

I've put that weekend in the diary ;)
See you there......

(Brasso at the ready!)

Going to be a small but friendly gathering, up to half a dozen engines, all on hard standing, no mud or fields - and lots of undercover to stand and drink tea or ale in!

3315 is going to be a push given the weather, but we'll have a darned good try.

Oh yes, still room for more engines though, large and small!

We will try nd make it with the showmans.

Marvellous Ted, thanks, sorry not had time to ring your Dad yet!

Ah, that explains the downpour......knew there had to be a reason......



..... wonder if the rain has drownded the cornetto, yet.


see you at the show, if not before.
