Road Steam at Market Bosworth Ale Weekend...
 

Hi guys. There was a good line up of full size road steam at this years Market Bosworth Rail Ale event over July 25th - 27th. The event hosted 10 full size road engines as well as few vintage vehicles, organ, 55 real ales, Dr Busker in the evenings, "Blue Circle" in steam and 3803 out on the railway. This is a most enjoyable event and its fantastic to see the big engines in attendance for the weekend! I did take a few pictures, mostly of the engines preparing for and out on the Road Run...
