Great Northern Steam Fair - 14 April 2013

[Steam Scenes]

I visited the Great Northern Steam Fair today at Beamish which is a long trip for me (long trip for most people!) It is the first time I have visited Beamish.

The dull conditions put pay to any exceptional photographs which I have seen other people produce in previous years but I had a good time watching the engines circulate and talking to numerous TT members.

Here are a few pics:

Aveling & Porter 3315 - first time I have seen it in steam!
