GDSF 2013 - Wednesday
First day of the show. I think GDSF has got's old spark back after a couple of quiet years. The roller display is something else, it has to be seen to be believed. I don't know the numbers of engines involved but it must be well in excess of the figures being quoted prior to the event. Those involved in putting it together deserve a very big pat on the back.
A very small selection of pictures from around the site. Some of the special roller display: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...4-DSC_2976.jpg Mike Dreelan's enormous convertible A&P: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...6-DSC_2875.jpg Just love this diesel Marshall which has shown up: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...0-DSC_3022.jpg Repatriated Sentinel in the NTET tent: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...6-DSC_3131.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...8-DSC_3211.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...9-DSC_3307.jpg The big load coming into the site at lunchtime: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...2-DSC_3361.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...5-DSC_3367.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...3-DSC_3387.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...2-DSC_3408.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...8-DSC_3429.jpg I was invited onto the footplate of Dolphin, they tell me it takes a week to clean it before they get to the show, amazing work: http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...5-DSC_3487.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...4-DSC_3897.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...3-DSC_4155.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...7-DSC_4348.jpg http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...9-DSC_4419.jpg Count the rollers! http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/13...7-DSC_4220.jpg I took many more but I don't feel I saw half of what is there, I've not even been to the top of the haulage area or in the woodsawing/threshing area. I've had to come home tonight to bring children back as they start school in the morning (!), I will be back at the show bright and early in the morning. Don't miss it! |

Great Pics as usual David. Are you there on Saturday. If you are and see me, say hello, ill buy you a drink!!!!

Fantastic pics David, think these shots really show what Dorset is all about, its got to be the greatest show on earth and I think that anyone interested in preservation should try and visit at least once in their lives, well done again.

Fantastic pics David.
Did you happen to get any of Derek Marder's Ruston Proctor roller? Very good... |
Quote:
lol, well spotted. It was almost even better, the next roller round was the other Fowler tar sprayer which I believe is the one that the Undaunted bits have been fitted to. I did get some of Derek's roller, I'll have a look through and post some when I get home. |

I was looking at the rest of the bits not so long ago, a TT member resisted the temptation to put the canopy on his roller the day after. |
Thanks David for your great selection once again. Having gone on the Saturday all mine are of very dusty exhibits, nice to see them with less dust on them.
