Here's a few pics.

Nice little Aveling & Porter 8 tonner. These always look 'right' to me.




Q class Marshall 73040. I wanted to take this one home







Steve Paxton's 3 speed compound, 55676? Again, very nice engine.




After growing up near to Lillywhite's and hearing the legend of these engines it was a real pleasure to see them up close and especially see the 'Q' in steam. Well done guys

I went down mainly to see the Lillywhite engines and it was well worth it.

Lovely setting for a rally, great for pictures, shame the sun went in as soon as I arrived.

Not sure I have ever seen one engine lift another, see attached picture!

Lots more pictures on SS soon, hopefully before GDSF.

Yes I was lucky and there wasn't many people about. I've never seen an engine wood sawing in such an authentic environment before.

Singleton is also a great venue for miniatures. Since my last visit even more of the woodland paths are wheel chair accessible which make them ideal scale road for my miniature
