West of England 2011

Really great rally at Stithians this year, as ever a proper Cornish atmosphere, and busier than it has been the last few years.
It was a particular honour to finally get up close and personal with the stunning Cornish Maid, thanks Steve!!
Photos from Friday to follow soon.

I know exactly what a Garrett tractor looks like - seeing as it's written on the cab, it's a bit of a giveaway to even a non steam person.
What I wanted to know was which Garrett tractor - ably answered by Charlie - thanks.
Obviously newly out following rebuild.

Yes and long awaited too! I think its been under rebuild since late eighties. If you have a copy its the one on the front of Blenkinsops Steam Scenes vol 5.

Sorry i dont put engine numbers and details when i post pics takes too bloody long! and besides give those still learning the diff between Burrell and Fowler a chance to look em up! I had to years ago, all part of the fun!

Sorry - deleted previous messages 'cos I got the photos wrong. Hope this one is right - should be the photo mentioned on the cover of Dick Blenkinsop's book.
