Beamish - Great North Steam Fair
 

Well still didn't end up putting any faces to names but still had a great day out on the Saturday.

Didnt get many photos but here are a few. The DG8 was fantastic; and great to see it along side the Tarmac S6 :D

Great photos.

We were invited with the Foden but sadly we couldn't make it. Planned to be there next year with some luck, although luck now run out thanks to our inspector telling us that our boiler is shot :-( we had hoped this might be at the end of next year when this news would come through.

Gutted!

Loving that DG8. ....

It really does look stunning! Was hoping to meet the owner (who I think may be on here) but he was very much engrossed in conversation and as it was starting to rain I made a hasty retreat to stand in the chippy queue for an hour :) They were very good chips though!

Looks fantastic, how do you go about getting an invite?!

On Thursday Richard spent a lot of time doing interviews.

That Marshall Aggy on strakes is just awesome.

Just uploaded a selection of my photos to Facebook. I'm not sure if you can all see them, but hopefully I'll find time to upload some to here too at some point!

Here’s a selection of my photos including more of the DG8, in my opinion this is the most handsome waggon going.

The Allchin Roller and crew had an absolutely fantastic time at Beamish this year. It did the Roller the world of good trundling around the roadways, also up and down those hills to the colliery, the wagonway and yes we did get next to the DG8 Tarmac Lorry which did look superb, especially in the sunshine.

4 days at Beamish
 

Had a fantastic time at Beamish this year. Thanks to the organizers for inviting the Allchin Roller and her crew. If you have never been you do not know what you are missing. Most people in period dress, old shops, bakery, sweet shop, farm, colliery and the Inn etc. The Roller had a whale of a time chugging up and down the hills around the roadway. Absolutely brilliant Paul, Paul, Bob and Colin. Thanks again
