It would be even better if a PH was in the playpen.

No. Mr Antell was in the sawing demo area though. Nice to see back out. I did see Mr Webb in the distance though.

A not very distinguished picture of Garrett 33818, Lady Olivia. I'm sure I have some better ones but I can't find them at present.

And a picture of the new Rasdale family Garrett 33259 Invincible which was great to see and I'd forgot to include:

No, I think they had Philadelphia, John of Gaunt & the W&S but not Progress.

Somebody was taking to me about the engine during the week but I don't think I actually saw it.

A number of engines did made it as far as the low loader park but no further.

John was hoping to have all his engines in steam at Dorset (for the first time?) but I gather the paint on Progress only dried on Monday and given the conditions she was left at Hatch's.

John O Gaunt looked cracking!

Due to the weather conditions it was decided not to bring progress as the same was decided for the lion a wise move at the time the decision was made.

Lord Fisher was threshing. Spent a lot of time with it this year. Lovely engine.

Thanks for those David. As you say a great show as usual and the weather did not seem to deter many people.

Good to meet you and have a chat on Thursday evening.

Hi David, can I just say your photos are truly fantastic, I wish I had the time and patience you have. Just a quick question I see from your location that it now says Cornwall does that mean you have now moved to the land of engines, sun and sea along with great people. Once again thanks for sharing your great photos. Regards Chris.

Some more in response to requests.

Don't think Kitchener ventured into the playpen this year so I only got this one very average picture of her this year:

Hi Chris, yes moved down to Cornwall in July, not far from you. My events in the future will have more of a South Western bias I think!

And another pic of Pride of the Wight that I found:

Any pictures of my engine David? Tasker 1424?

tasker tractor

3rd September 2014 06:44 PM

Progress was in steam awaiting the low loader when the decision was made by the owners that due to the conditions on the site it would not be going to Dorset. I am now led to believe that Progress will be at Bedford.

Welding the holes is the easy bit, the rust is a tad more difficult.

I'm not sure that a decision has been made. As far as I am aware enquiries were going to be made this week as to whether it could go there. Failing that its first public outing may be Hungerford Victorian Night on Friday 12th December.
