Beamish : Great North Steam Fair
I'm hoping the weather plays ball for this event this year , looks like there is going to be some excellent exhibits on show around the museum.
http://www.beamishtransport.blogspot.com/ Hopefully the weekend will be fine given that a trip to Southport for the Riverside event is also a must. Looking forward to seeing Fred Dibnahs engines for the first time thumbsup Dave |
shame both events are on same weekend.
|
Weather permitting I hope to make it a double header and catch both events .
The winter has taken it's toll this year for me . Dave |
Do you or anyone else know who to contact to exhibit in the miniature steam section at The Beamish Steam Fair? Thanks

I'm really looking forward to this event......
and since it is over four days, I think I might stand a chance of a proper visit! |
Still hoping we might make it...in one form or another. All depends on the new tender getting here and being fitted.

Hope you get there Anthony.

Touch and go, but it seems that the new tender will not be ready sadly. Will have to wait a little longer to lay the hill out of the colliery village to waste, but it will be worth it. Could bring it as a big portable, but it's not so easy to move round without a back end.
|
High Heels ?
|
Never mind . Wait until you can road it to Corbridge up the A68 . Castleside Bank will be a doddle .
|
1 week to go!..
|
Any sign of 703 (101) coming out to play???
|
s'land 101
Sorry, but I suspect that this one will be confined to the shed - and Newcastle 114 will be as well.
(at least, that is what I remember from the blog posted by the keeper of transport) If you want the links I can put them up! |
According to the Beamish blog the Fowler B5 that was expected is now doubtful :( .
I was really looking forward to seeing this engine , I hope it appears despite the doubts . Dave |
When is this show, does it start this Thursday?
|
Yes.
|
1 Day to go!
|
And 3315 will not be there sadly. :-( Going for the day on Friday if all is well though :-)
|
I managed to sneak a visit into Beamish today....weather was kind, which was nice.
A lot to see, so a most interesting time wandering around, even if one or four of the palnned exhibits hadn't arrived, never mind, there'll be another chance (I'm sure!) During the afternoon, I counted up - there were at least eight items there that I had had something to do with.....some bigger than others! Well worth going! |
And next year there will be another...I hope. Trust the lid arrived safely?
|
Some photo's from today at Beamish , really nice day with a lot of interesting items on display .

Who now has John Woodley's waggon? Sentinel 1465 (AW3321)
|
Guy Rutter, same chap who owns the little red Advance I had the pleasure of pottering around with yesterday.
|
By the way, who was driving the Green sentinel on Saturday? I was hoping to take pictures, but my little camera was not playing at all!
And, yes, the Lid did arrive safely, care of Dave Antell....;)... Out of the rail exhibits, I did like "Jack" and Baxter and Coffee Pot made a good pair... I'm already looking forward to the next events (and Power from the Past in September!) |
Leaving at 6am my boyfriend and I were at Beamish yesterday - and what a day! The sun was out and nice blue skies, lots of public and steamers to boot :)
