Battlefield Line - Miniature Traction Engine Weekend 2014 - April 26th/27th

[MBmtew]

Finally, as a very last update, the owner of Aveling & Porter "Blue Circle" has kindly offered to steam her up for the weekend and steam her to Market Bosworth. The engine will be in steam during the weekend, ticking over in the siding at Market Bosworth for photographs Her loving owner will also be on hand to answer any questions about this unique rail-loco. The 2-2-0 Single worked for "Blue Circle Cement". For more info see here...

"Blue Circle" will join Marshall Gen Purpose Engine "Mary" and Aveling & Porter Roller "Louise" (formerly "Stortford Roll") as the three full size "road" (except "BC"!) engines, amongst some 35 miniatures. Cheers guys

Sam,

Are there going to be any trade stands at this event? I'm thinking of a model engineering nature - I need various bits and pieces including materials (brass) and nuts and bolts.

Thanks in anticipation,

Michael

Hi Gordon. My apologies but I'm afraid we do not have trade stands as yet. I did make some enquiries but didn't manage to nail anything down this year. Sorry about that. Regards, Sam

Sam,

No problem - just wondered how much money to bring!!! Hopefully I will still visit the event, taking into consideration the weather and my illness.
