I can see why other exhibitors may have some slight issue with the steamers getting more financing than other exhibits, but at the end of the day it IS the steamers that for most are the crowd pullers. Personally there are a number of Agricultural/County/Railway etc shows that I have gone to simply to see one or two engines, and whilst same can't be said for 100 % of Joe Public, I'm sure I'm not the only one!
