Riverside Steam Rally - 21 April 2012

We enjoyed the day and the weather held up. David has posted most of the engines, here are a few of mine to add to the record.

We went on Sunday. Very pleasant and friendly day. Pity nothing was moving about though. I wondered if it is always like that or was the soft ground to blame?

James, it is pretty much a static rally, but on the Saturday night you'd have seen a fleet off to the pub no doubt, also likely a good few engines going home locally sunday evening.

Sadly I couldn't make it this year.

Usually there is an old boy who goes there as a punter, he's probably in his late 90's(?) and used to work for a certain showman in the north east who had one of those Super Lions called Onward and just remembered the steamers. Anyone see him this year?, It has been a pleasure to talk to him in past years.
