Go and sit in a darkened room and wash your mouth out! Then write out 500 times, "I must not question ...", well you get the idea!

It's really good to see you out and about enjoying your own engine.

Cheers Carl.

Nice to see a photo of Scooby's portable on the first page, this is for sale & if anyone wants a portable they could do a lot worse than this one!

So what's their argument for not having steam? Trevithick Day could not be Trevithick Day without celebrating the machine that owes its origin to Cap'n Dick.

Most of the people who run the event arent overly interested in steam and see it as more of a problem than a centrepoint as we do. There is only a very small minority that want the steam to stay. This is just my observations of the situation to make that clear. If i am wrong i am happy to be told otherwise. My personal opinion is that Trevithick Day would not be Trevithick Day without a lineup of steam and i think it would go downhill very rapidly if the steam side were to go, their loss. However, they cannot stop engines going through and around the town at other times, can't see there ever being no steam at all in Camborne on the last Saturday in April.

Cheers, Josh.

Theres nothing stopping someone doing a trevithick day show just outside the town if they so want to get rid of it, there certainly seems to be enough interest for engine owners to bring the engines each year.
