Default Somerset Steam Spectacular 2012

After yesterday's problems I decided it was worth risking the showers again today, and was well rewarded by a good show that seemed to draw in plenty of people. The ground was damp, but there was still plenty going on, especially thanks to the winches on a few engines, including Margaret.







Royal Chester got a little stuck...















It's real dedication to bring your engine to a show, and then continue to work on it!















Margaret provided the main steam parade by "fishing" for engines and winching them into the main arena!

Can't seem to get videos to work so:
