Great video , looks like going on Saturday was an error on my part .
The hauling display looked very entertaining , a similar event to the one at Driffield's rally.
Thanks for posting.

For anyone travelling that way tomorrow the line up consists of

Aveling 8601/8754/10575/11450/12115/14070/14071/14125
Burrell 2093/2417/2696/3444/3526/3888
Clayton 38742
Foden 13218
Foster 14632
Fowler 9055/11114/11352/14321/14406/14893/15462/15981/16008/16289/16851/17106/17470/17585/Pheonix
Garrett 32762/33248/33486
Mann 1386
Marshall 32092/38024/46276/51483/74614/76890/87003
McLaren 682
RSJ 24585
Yorkshire 117

In addition DMCRE's Robey is to be found in the working area

A couple of images attached of the engines new to the 2011 event

To be fair just to point out Ian that of these engines at this years rally NINE were not at last years event and most if not all of these were at Duncombe Park for the first time--Ian Craggs T3 roller being at its first ever rally in his ownership --so hardly a re-run of 2010

A re-run as in format, the visitors were particularly welcome, perhaps my wording was a little misleading.. The T3 in particular was worth the visit having only seen that working at Beamish in April '10, Marshall 74614 significant as ticket due to expire soon.

As mentioned the play pen/second ring was missing, the only significant change from 2010 - in format.
