I will be there!
 
Was hoping to bring the old rust bucket, but can't fit it all in.

Will be bringing the living van over & crewing on Mr Rackham's Aveling Tractor instead.

Thanks for the photos
 
Good to see some photos of the day & to see that my old LzR managed to get in on one of them! But at least Mr Rackham's Aveling was in there too ;)

Thanks for those involved for a great day, as an engine owner. I felt very warmly welcome & well look after. Only hope that next time I will get to bring mine own over!
Also thanks to Mr Higgs for crewing & looking after the Aveling today, only hope he wasn't missing any of his duties!?!
Even if you didn't by me an ice cream. Not that I would mention it of course! :p
(It's going to take a very long time to live that one down, I hope you know that?!?)



Cheers

Was a Good turn out today and we had over 400 paying adults and over 100 more wee-ones. We think we have made a fair amount and also we are open tomorrow for tours.

Thanks to Dan for letting me steam/crew the avEling for the day! and I know im not gonna live down the ice cream!!
