Somerset Steam Spectacular 2012
 

After yesterday's problems I decided it was worth risking the showers again today, and was well rewarded by a good show that seemed to draw in plenty of people. The ground was damp, but there was still plenty going on, especially thanks to the winches on a few engines, including Margaret.

It's real dedication to bring your engine to a show, and then continue to work on it!

Margaret provided the main steam parade by "fishing" for engines and winching them into the main arena!
