Well what a lovely day, good company ,weather to die for and friends all over the place, and to finish off the day my beloved MGC did not miss a beat, happy day's.
Next year we will bring one or two toy's to join in the fun. Mark. |
It was good for us to see many different engines. The particular highlight for us, (apart from meeting Tiny and Mark ;) ) was to get up close the Colonial Foden. It's a credit to the Wyeld family. Photo's will follow at some stage . . .. .. . .

I took a little 400mile detour home from work saturday, great variety of steam there, mostly enjoyed my afternoon/evening and hopefully got a few good photos out of the thousands i took, which moves me along to my whinge....
I have never been to a rally/fair/show etc with soooo many ignorant people, i can accept the odd one or two will get in the way of a group of photographers all stood in a line, most of the time they realise and say sorry and move, but yesterday... beyond a joke, as an example there was 1 man who moved and stood literally in front of me 4 times even though i moved some 40ft away in total, another instance was when i asked politely if they could stand back a bit they grunted "its a free country", really was the worst steam/fair/show/race meeting ive experianced in all my years. |

We visited for the day on Saturday had a good day. Enjoyed getting out my area and seeing different engines. Have uploaded a picture of a large NZ? Burrell, wasn't in the programme. Can anyone tell me more about it? Did take many more photos but it will only let me upload 10 at a time so would end up making about 10 posts

Perhaps those "ignorant" people who got in your way had not been told that the rally had been put on just for groups of photographers ;) I am afraid that's life and "if you let it", can be very frustrating and annoying to the point it spoils your enjoyment of the day. Sometimes its best to take a chill pill and walk away and come back later when the crowds have gone. Just remember they have exactly the same rights to stand there that you have. Phil |
Joe the New Zealand burrell that as come across for a new boiler 101 years from the first-- good british engineering,no 3522 owned by Peter Buterick and it is one that came over a number of years ago, the barrel as been done by the Howard Brothers got most of info from Ian Howard needed it for my commentry!!

any chance you have any pics of the Plumb families Burrell? regards sam |
A question for Tiny. How many miniatures did we have in the ring on Sunday? Wrong side of the loudspeakers so missed it.
|
is the New Zealand Burrell doing any other rallies before it returns home??
