Notts & Leicester Steam & Transport Show 2010
 

I decided to pop over to the Notts & Leicester Steam & Transport Show event over at Melton Mowbray this afternoon. Only a small event but a relaxed feel with plenty of engine movement. The show was held on the Leicester County Showground which is part old airfield which made a good opportunity to photograph the rollers on hard standing. A few of my favourite pics:

Nice! We should go next year.

Were those the ploughers that were supposed to be going this year?

Not as far as I know, one of ours has belly trouble and the other won't be steam tested until later in the summer.

Some of the advertising said that a pair of ploughing engines would be in attendance, but this did not materialise. I can't work out which pair it was supposed to have been, not many others in this part of the world now.

it was a good day, i shall be back up there tomorow and monday, David, nice to talk to you, and thanks for the bad pics :P

martin
