I went out engine hunting today looking for engines roading into GDSF. Thanks to steaming my way's route I managed to find a few returning from the Isle of Wight event over the weekend and onto GDSF.
Leading the way was
Sentinel 8393 HMS Sultan. Traveling at speed I had a job getting past them before the got to the rally site:
Next up and not far behind was
Burrell 3718 "Lion":
I had a closer look when they stopped at the Horton Inn for refreshments, what a beautiful engine this is:
Three engines still at Drucila's following their event at the weekend,
Fowler 15319 "Queen Mary",
Burrell 3896 "Earl Beatty" and
Burrell 3938 "Quo Vadis" hiding behind, quite a set:
Finally
Fowler 11111 "City of Hull" storming along with a road train and a half:
Travelling through the New Forest just past Burley:
I'm not sure the New Forest ponies though much of it though:
Nearing the show site, traveling through Tarrant Hinton:
Set me up nicely for tomorrow, looking forward to it.
