Forncett Steam Museum on Steam-It Sunday
 

Happily for us, the NTET chose our Model Engineers' Day for Steam-It Sunday, so we did our bit with a road run to the Norfolk Tank Museum for miniatures and some 'grown ups'.

Regular museum visitor 'Margaret', an A&P GND tractor lead the way.

Hope no one's coming the other way!

Another 6 ins Burrell, but more conventional. (Note the red flag in the background - to warn oncoming horses.)

This four seater Stanley is equally magnificent.

A surprise visitor. 'Duke of York', a B6 Fowler crane engine on an assessment run before overhaul of the top works by local specialist Steve Barraclough.

Margaret seemed big until the Duke of York turned up.

Thanks to everyone who turned out to make this a memorable day.

Looks like a brilliant day Bill! I was hoping to make but sadly had to spend my Sunday writing lesson plans, I know where I would rather have been!
