Great Northern Steam Fair 2015 Thursday.

[International Steam]

Beamish Steam is much more than the road engines, However, I got to 27 of them by the end of the day, but as most were moving around there might have been more. Plus 2 or 3 steam cars.

4 standard gauge locos working on 3 systems plus 3 on the narrow gauge plus the navvy, the winding engine and the gallopers.

Good attendance with full car park, queues for trams, trains and food. Very happy for the organisers who take a big gamble holding such an event so early in the season.

Still cloudy in Washington but forecast is good during the opening hours. Very little if any rain overnight although it's nor critical at Beamish.

Should be another great day.
