Easter events
 
Anyone know of any steam related events this weekend! I know about the one at Gt Dunmow, in essex, and the event at the Great Central railway! Anyone know more about them? Both are a bit far but if there isnt much else on ill have to drive up there for a steam fix!

there has been something new for the last couple of years, hopefully the same again this year.

A Carousel ?

That would be one of those Yankee things , which go around the wrong way ?

The Gallopers were 'lectric today, though Nerys did suggest the engine was like the one 'Uncle Ken' had in his shed (and it is).

I went to see the Marshall tractor
