Nothing wrong with your pictures Christoph

Hi David,
thanks, I just had a quick look over them on a small tablet and they looked a bit blurred in parts. Might have been a 'local' problem, looks OK to me too now :) I will post some more later :) cheers chris |

It was good to meet you for the first time Chris. It was a great weekend. Nice photo's. I see that I will have to find different images when I get home.

The Garrett 4CD "Vera Lynn" - is this the one that is not quite what it seems...?
Michael PS - Apologies if I am totally wrong!!!!!!! |
Hi David,
it was nice to meet you 'in person' :) I'm sure you will find a lot better pics than I have, I struggled a bit with the sunlight or the abscence of sunlight and all the people int he way ... Looking forward to meet more people from TT in Dorset !!! cheers chris |

there are a couple of engines which I suspect to be conversions if that is what you mean, 'Lady Jane' for sure was a roller before, and there are a couple more but I do not know definetely ... cheers chris |

Hi Chris,
Not really - I don't want to add to the conversion debate... There is a "Garrett 4CD Showmans" that is actually brand new and powered by a 2CV petrol engine. I have seen photos of it and if you are familiar with this type of engine you can see that some parts don't quite look right. It is very good - and if that's what the owner wants that is fair enough - I suspect it fools a number of people but it is not for me. I am left wondering what the world of steam engines is all about for some people - shiny paintwork, polished brass but no sense of history... But that is just my opinion - not right or wrong so don't shoot me down folks! Michael PS just read the reply from Mark - posted while I was typing mine! |
Hi Gordon,
hups, shame on me I did not recognize that ! That means probably also that the illusion is more or less OK ;) A bizarre idea anyway, I was a bit focused on the models I suppose and the space where the showmans were located was a bit more crowded + knowing the showmens line in dorset I might have been a bit ignorant. Maybe David has some interesting details from Vera ... cheers chris |
I googled a bit, it's a replica machine indeed:

The builder had no plans. He worked exclusively on the old Bandai kit, which if I remember right was 1/16 scale! Sláinte! George. |
Sorry,
I only now found the old thread with more info on the Garrett mockup: http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/sho...ight=dordrecht Sláinte! George. |
Looks a great gathering. I might try it next year. Your Engine looks good George,!

Many thanks for the honors, John. But you can slow down with your planning for Dordt in Stoom, as this show is only every second year, so next in 2016 !!! Slainte, George. |
Thanks for the tow George at least it was a Burrell that recovered me
