All hard standing good event to go to.

Beamish GNSF
 

Beamish the best place ever, not only for GNSF but all year round visits and all on one pass, like you said .

Some more attractions have been announced on the Beamish Transport Blog, with some attractions coming from the North East of Scotland. I am sure that it will be a fantastic weekend, with the varied selection of exhibits -

Looking forward to having the Marshall & trailer there. See you there Anthony, will be good to catch up. Hedd let me know which day if you are visiting. I think Pete & Davina will be there Thursday/ Friday, Could be a Marshall Tractor owners convention.

Oooh, and a Carrimore trailer convention...

Good Morning Kev. Will you be there , are you taking anything. Carrimore has recently been sign-written as the engine. Regards, Neil.

Hi Neil, we are coming up with the Robey and trailer. Really looking forward to it.
Just got to put the engine back together, empty all the crap off the trailer... oh and pass my Class 1!

Will be good to see the pair of them together. Sounds like you are going to have a busy March, hope you get sorted. All the best.

As mentioned in my original post Beamish is well worth a visit and is all hard standing so not afected by rain etc.
I think the food is expensive but that could just be me so allways take some sarnies with me.

I don't get chance to eat much at this event , too much going on to worry about food .

A little taster to wet the appetite.

And another taster from last year -

Beamish is a wonderful place, and I am sure that the visiting vehicles this year, will provide some fantastic viewing and photographic opportunities.

Marshall tractor and Carrimore trailer collected yesterday by Stuart Ritchie for the journey north to Beamish.

Marshall arrived and in store in the new Rural District Council Depot until GNSF.http://www.tractiontalkforum.com/pic...ictureid=22750

is that the marshall still owned by N Thompson or as it changed hands????

Still owned by me. Engine & trailer just on holiday till mid May.

Really looking forward to this years event, many different vehicles, it just gets better and better. really looking forward to seeing the Fowler B6 Crane engine again. Trying to start a build of a 4" scale road version.

Will come say hello to everyone hopefully.

Andrew.

We steamed Sentinel 7591 for the first time in its new livery last night, and we are looking forward to its trip down south.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the event, please do come and say hello to Mark and I.

Cheers

J

I spent many happy hours driving that engine when she in Essex with Edna Driscoll......... Happy Days.........

She is looking absolutely superb now.

Jim

Thanks for your comment Jim, hope you have a chance to meet up with the Marshall some time. It does not venture far from home usually and does not do many rallies. It will be at Onslow Park again this year if you are there. Regards, Neil.

Engine back together and steamed, class 1 passed this morning....!! Just a few little jobs to do and the carrimore to sort out. :D

Had a lovely day today - sun was shining, and the camera behaved, although I was surprised at just how many people were there, it was really busy.
Met a few people I know and had a good chat ..........
