I see and am disappointed that there are very few photos of Miniatures. There were plenty of very nice and unusual miniatures on display,. Who did they get to entertain the public in the ring on Saturday, because the ground was too wet and slippery , why of course and as always the miniatures,. We support the rallies just as much as the full size, and the public love em as they can see all the working parts. So come on T.T. please show a few more miniatures, I'm sure most of your ''readers'' enjoy looking at them as well.

Unusual for TT David has included a good selection of miniatures which feature in nearly half the pictures. Well done David. |

Brilliant pics, thanks David, and also the much enjoyed cake!
Hope you don't mind I sent a copy of the five cases (including the driver) for the people in USA to see. Great weekend, plenty coal, well organised, always a pleasure to go the Cromford Thanks |
I don't really need to defend myself but I always include minatures in my photographs. They are a big part of the steam scene and I generally try to include a smattering of trucks, people, tractors but at Cromford, I was overwhelmed with steam engines.
The thanks should go to Richard as without him, I would have been a Cerney and not taking pictures at all. |
We enjoyed the weekend and the photos are great David. The only complaints I've got is that the coal was far to smoky and not up to public event quality and we people moaning to us about the smoke. There was a good selection of engines but poorly displayed to many were either on the low loader or tucked around the back mixed in with caravans etc. The engine weren't kept informed as to what was happening on the Saturday. Fortunately the minatures saved the day with a good variety of some exceptional minatures.

I like the 'people' shots as well |
Engines were asked by the organisers to stay on low loaders or near to them whilst there were concerns about the ground conditions and weather forecast.

Sorry everyone, must be going senile, and for some reason I missed them first time round and have now re viewed the pictures and I see I am mistaken. Please accept my humblest apologies. Must go to Specsavers in furture???? A smashing rally only spoilt by the weather and ground conditions, as I was in steam all weekend but did not run due to the badly rutted ground and didn't want to injure my smaller engine for Lincoln in two weeks time, on their ''Bowling Green'' surface.Hope to see some of you there.

Michael, I did say at Cromford that I would explain how to post photo's on here but never got round to it. If you go to the "HOW?" section there are detailed explanations of how to post images in a number of different ways.
Will look forward to you pics from Lincoln :) ;) |
Thank You David, lets hope my ancient brain can handle the details. being an old goat, I am not all that Computer savvy and really do need step by step instructions. and am probably not the only one. Will see what I can do at Lincoln although I mainly take videos at most rallies I attend. PS. Your photos from Cromford are very good, Grovel Grovel!!!

We attended on the Sunday and were particularly impressed with both the full size and miniature sections. Some beautiful miniature engines and the Fowler Roller "Survivor" was one that I was very impressed with on the full size side
