Default South Molton 3rd June 2012
For those that were unable to attend a selection of the photos taken at South Molton on Sunday. Well worth the trip to see 3903 on her first appearance in many a year, a small but very friendly day out and the rain held off or at least whilst I was there.

Nice pictures Peter, it was certainly a bit damp yesterday... Although we managed to get some combing done (I seem to be cowering from all the flying straw and dust!) We had a much better day saturday and it stayed nice and dry until we left on the pub run, when the heavens decided to open!

Some of the early arrivals:





Burrell 3903 next to running mate Wallis 7294 after finishing on the road:



Busy working section:







Royal Chester certainly barked on the bench!



Some interesting minatures and the rest of the engines:







Pub run in the rain!

No.3956 'Pride of the Road' of 1923. New to Joseph Coles & Sons of Gloucester and spent her working life there.

I've got a feeling she's fitted with a unique type of scarifier, but I'm sure someone will know better...

Yeah, they're great! The owner still has all the gear to convert both back to rollers too I believe

The Burrell is spot on , exept for the usual trouble of Burrell safety valves not closing properly !! Anyone got a remedy!?
A good little rally & a great atmosphere in the beer tent on Sat night. (after I'd changed my clothes!)
