What a great weekend at Astle Park with a wonderful line up of full size engines and Miniature's too... a rally I have been attending for 40 years now as either exhibitor, weekender or visitor and have always enjoyed this rally
It was also a great pleasure to meet several other TT members over the weekend.
On Saturday evening while steaming round the site my 4" Ruston Proctor suffered a seizure of the gear drive shaft which locked up and prevented my engine from moving and Clive Hearsey offered to tow my engine back to base and several other miniature owners came to see what was wrong and to my amazement they rolled up their sleeves and stripped and fixed the problem in no time at all which enabled me to steam and run again on Sunday.
I would like to offer my grateful thanks to all who helped... and I owe you all a beer lads. Thanks again.
Cheers
