Following on from the last two successful events in 2011 and 2012, this year's is on 5th and 6th October.
Exhibits can be seen at the Navigation Inn, Buxworth War Memorial Club, and around the Bugsworth Canal Basin (a scheduled ancient monument owing to its significance as the first interchange between a railway or tramway and a canal)
Buxworth is on the B6062 off the A6 near Whaley Bridge, the postcode being SK23 7NE
There will be 10-12 full size engines, some miniatures, a couple of fairground organs, and all the other ancillary stuff.
Admission is again free as the engines will be scattered around somewhat, but this year we are collecting money (by voluntary donation) for both the local Air Ambulance Support lot, and for the Inland Waterways Protection Society who are responsible for the whole of the canal basin, and have some sort of expensive project in the offing.
If anyone would like to come along with an exhibit of some sort, get in touch, and I will send you more details.
When the Navigation get their website up again, more details can be found at
