Yes stood on canopy of Goolie. However I fear I'm getting too old for such antics. At one time I could just hop up and down from the top of the canopy now it seems like climbing Everest!

Never mind the Garratt awning should be a little lower and more accessable - mind you... by the time it is finished it might be a bit challenging climbing up with a zimmer frame!

I really must learn to stop leading with my chin when I make comments on TT. By the way it's a Garrett albeit in many bits. Garratts were railway locos. So stick that in yer pipe and smoke it!

Not many people there Saturday due to cold & rain. Lot more there on Sunday. The engines were 'caged' behind barriers therefore munmbers may look low.
