[QUOTE=perhaps most enjoyable moment of the day was listening to the commentator as the engine's passed through the ring, his description of the 'extremely rare Aveling & Porter Showman's Engine 14070 'Billy Boy' - one of only ten built' was worth the entrance fee alone!

I am glad I gave it a miss if poor old Billy Boy was there, it would have completely spoilt my weekend.

No play pen this year
Also it would have been good to see the McLaren at this stage of it's restoration.
Despite the above I had a great day at Helmsley.

A regular I'm afraid! I think most people I brushed shoulders with were most impressed with ex Whitby Council T3 roller 16851, unspoilt!
