Statfold Open day March 2013
 

Few pictures from Statfolds barn open day. As usual, loads of new stuff to see. I for one have never seen snow on a Statfold open day, so although only 7 engines ran of the 17 engine that were meant to be running, it was still a good day. All the road engines are all still hibernating.

Those two from India will be running by the next event!

Not the next open day we have a Large Hudswell tender engine to do nect but might fit another in between. I got to find some time to put Elsa back togrther as well

What date is the next open day?

1st June I believe

Not see the Foden before. Could someone tell me more about this one?
