Great Northern Steam Fair 2015 Thursday.

[bjwlancashire]

Going on Saturday and forecast is for more sun, cant wait.

[International Steam]

Beamish Steam is much more than the road engines, However, I got to 27 of them by the end of the day, but as most were moving around there might have been more. Plus 2 or 3 steam cars.

4 standard gauge locos working on 3 systems plus 3 on the narrow gauge plus the navvy, the winding engine and the gallopers.

Good attendance with full car park, queues for trams, trains and food. Very happy for the organisers who take a big gamble holding such an event so early in the season.

Still cloudy in Washington but forecast is good during the opening hours. Very little if any rain overnight although it's nor critical at Beamish.

Should be another great day.

It was an excellent day, the clouds cleared as we arrived at 10:30am although it was bloody cold due to the wind. Not sure if my face is sunburt, wnedburnt or sandblasted from the occasional dust storm. Super day though and the amount of vehicle movements around the site including allmthe non steam was brilliant, I will certainly attend this event again.

Shame the weather has turned today but it will keep the dust down. Would love to take our engine in the future but dont know how you get invited. Must be a very special list.
