Sentinel Drivers Club Road Run - 29 Aug 2015
 

Really pleased to be able to go to the Sentinel Drivers Club Road Run today which started at the works in Shrewsbury and up the old Sentinel test route up Horseshoe Pass. Some breathtaking scenery and great photographic opportunities - and a serious test for the waggons participating.

Great selection of Sentinel products, both steam and diesel, not all completed the run but they all passed through the arch at the factory as they did when they were completed and ready to be sent out to customers.

Unlike any other steam engine road run I have been on in that there was no opportunity to overtake participants, you had to choose your spot and stick to it!

Some engines which I had not seen in a number of years, particularly like the wonderful livery on 9192 - destined to become my kids favourite engine I think ;)

After climbing the 1367 feet to the top they returned back to the rally field at Shrewsbury where they will be on display tomorrow. Thank you to all the engine owners and Sentinel club for kindly giving me a map and route details which was of great help. :)

I've got many more of each engine if anyone is looking for one in particular.

Cracking pics David. Wish i'd been there.

Thanks for sharing. Whilst they are all cracking vehicles, the 'Dairy Milk' Sentinel is absolutely stunning.

Wonderful ...

Great photos David, thanks for sharing.

Well done David - nice to see someone with an eye for a good shot posting. Shame how the weather deteriorated into Monday - now drying out in a hotel by the A5 watching a parade of muddy exhibits head home!

Nice to see my old DG Tractor 8413 in action.

Have you any of 8571 on the pass David?

A short video I found on You Tube .
