Hollycombe Festival of Steam 2008

[Steam Scenes]

Few pics from a wet Hollycombe today:







Not much I can add having seen The President in the flesh, shame my pics won't do it justice as they left before the sun decided to make an appearance, roll on GDSF.

The sun did come out later actually.

Went down yesterday before moving on to Dial Post. Nice to see both ploughers in steam and working the cultivator. The President looks stunning as has been stated elsewhere. The Wallis needs a bit of work, but so do a lot of things on the site.

Great pic of The President, it makes Duke of Kent almost look like a miniature!

You're a lucky so and so, I wish the sun was like that when I was there

Luck's got nothing to do with it David! Careful planning,and local knowledge of weather systems all plays a part. 2 rallies on the same day made it a bit hectic though.
The President pic is a bit deceiving. the difference has been accentuated by the positioning of the engines. Duke of Kent was well back. Her front wheels were lined up with the rear wheels of The President. Crafty eh?
