Superb weekend, I'll post some pictures in due course. The only down-side was the exceptionally smokey coal, one shovel full on a clean fire = black smoke....

Does anybody know who the chap was with the camera on the tripod part-way up the last hill on the road-run, I'd like to see his picture(s)/video of us coming up....

Cheers

Thats the usual filthy house coal that always supplied at Hollowell. Just driving my 4" Foster from one side of the field to the minature line up was enough, streaming stinging eyes. Chuck it out and start again with some of Andy's coal from Banbury, what a difference, less smoke, less soot in the tubes & less ash in the ash pan.

Absolutely, I agree, even Andy's 'standard smokey' is nowhere near as smokey as that! (virtually smokeless if fired correctly) Sore throats all round today....

Yes thats us, 2nd engine, cheers, thanks for that. The chap with the camera on the tripod was a little way up from the steepest part, quite a way down the hill from where you were stood at that junction.
