what's happened or happening to "Queen of the boyne"?
poor thing is looking a little sad |
Tinkers Park
Excellent atmosphere at the event, they work wonders in a small space.
More pictures now available here: http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/...kindextp15.htm As always, please let me know of any errors or omissions, I understand that some local engines were liable to turn up after opening time. Thanks to Neil Edwards for a couple of historical pictures of the CJ trust collection. If anyone has a picture of the missing WS roller 7601 which could be included please get in touch. |

it was a shame especially with it being surrounded by nice clean engines.... cough nightmare was a few down....
are engines like that on the to do list or are they open for sale/offers? I could not figure out if it was a trust or not. |
Queen of the boyne has been sat in almost the same spot, since i went last in 2013
|
a shame. I would give an engine like that a loving home and restoration :-)
|
Didn't recognise 'Vera' with her new paint job!! Haven't been for a couple of years but always one of our favourite rallies partially due to the relaxed atmosphere and the games.
|
I have so many good memories of QoB. What a sad scene.
|
It's not owned by the trust I should point out! It's a shame as others have said, but for a while it didn't even have a sheet so at least it's half protected now!

Robin. Some one local to me. Petersfield also. Shall we go tow it home and give it somewhere warm to sleep and some food to eat.
Not having a sheet may explain some of the corrosion. There were some bits in the tender which had been removed from it but apart from that fairly complete. Who ever it was taking the pictures.... I was the one that kept getting in the way looking at her. I am just uploading some pictures of the day. someone asked for a pic. was that of an engine there that day? |
