The steam tug Kerne was moored on the River Weaver also, along with all sorts of working boats too!

Thanks to all organisers.

I have some pictures but no engine details so between us we'll get there!! The miniature "Advance" is Steve Dakins latest project, one of only two in the country in four inch scale. Lee
