Went with Tiny for the two days. A very nice event; hope it keeps going. It was well supported. I really enjoyed it. Here are a few pictures of the engines.

we enjoyed it very much Saturday was a glorious day weather wise Sunday a disappointment but it got better as the day went along.

Far better than last year we miniatures moved around freely and enjoyed gathering outside the beer tent on occasions. Only one down side which is very easily remedied was the food providers seem to have run out after a busy first day with limited choice on the Sunday and maybe a little more choice could be accommodated for next year. We would certainly go again if its on I like the format with not too much structure that said it would be nice to see the big engines able to move but hey up those owners I spoke to were enjoying being there and agreed they liked the format.

Well done to the organisers those I spoke with all thought it has tremendous potential as an event.

We also had a great time. Well done Tom and Charlotte!
Just for the record there were no restrictions on engine movement, we moved ours about as much as we could bear in the heat as did a few others, some stood all weekend but hey ho.
