To be honest, someone should point out to the organisers that autumn comes earlier on this side of the country than further east. Maybe with last year's event cancelled owing to a waterlogged show ground and heavy rain all afternoon after I got home, it might be better to try a date earlier than the second Sunday in September.
There were, as expected, just half a dozen engines present but two were new to me. One I expected but the other was a pleasant surprise. I've travelled a lot further and seen no 'first timers'.

The Old Warden report will take 'days', currently I'm still suffering from 'sensory overload'. |
When I was walking towards Ickwell Green to get the bus back to Bigglewade Train Station, I could've sworn I heard heavy chuffing in the distance from behind me. I'll have to check your report on Old Warden, just in case some more Traction Engines had arrived on-site after I left
