Most of the people who run the event arent overly interested in steam and see it as more of a problem than a centrepoint as we do. There is only a very small minority that want the steam to stay. This is just my observations of the situation to make that clear. If i am wrong i am happy to be told otherwise. My personal opinion is that Trevithick Day would not be Trevithick Day without a lineup of steam and i think it would go downhill very rapidly if the steam side were to go, their loss. However, they cannot stop engines going through and around the town at other times, can't see there ever being no steam at all in Camborne on the last Saturday in April.

Cheers, Josh.
