GDSF 2011 - Wednesday Pictures
 

Here are a selection of pictures taken by me today.

The load makes it's way through the site and into the heavy haulage play pen. Spot the webcam on the front of His Majesty:

The talk of the event is Fowler 17105 Atlas which as had an extensive rebuild and looks like a million dollars:

Keep them coming, some of us are sadly stuck at work this week!

*cry

Great pictures cant wait for Saturday

nice photos leaving west cornwall @5 am thursday , ibetter get to bed

Wonderful! Just leaving Cornwall with a Land Rover full of cake :)

Can somebody tell me what all thu gubbins (gears etc) are for on the side of Atlas? Is she able to have a crane fitted as there looks to be the fittings for one on the front drawbar area?

Basically yes, the crane came with one of the other B6's, and atlas was ordered so that it could be fitted to it.

I don't think it was a very manly crane though.

Thanks for that, I did wonder how strong it would be!!!

Just got back from two days at GDSF. Lots of engines I hadn't seen before, or newly out which was nice.

Atlas is lovely, JC lovely... but I thought the newly rebuilt Barnes Bros Aveling roller 14001 was one of the nicest engines there, looked spot on.
