A lot can be put down to difficulty in reading details supplied by the owner or no-body check reading the proofs before printing. But these mistakes have always happened.

Maybe I will go and polish the engines in the workshop instead. Anybody can put together a booklet of exhibits - but a useful one with correct information is no more difficult to produce. I shall save my money next time. |

The guff written is pure sh1te. To a point it makes you wonder if it is made up. |

I sometimes think that it is all a load of guff aimed at the visitor who is expected to be ignorant of steam & its history and those of us in the know should not be buying it. It still boils down to the fact that if you or I or anyone else who has been around steam for the best part of his life were given the chance to check-read the program proof, it would never get to the printers!

I attended the event for the first time on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were quality exhibits in all sections, a great atmosphere and it was pleasing to see engines at work for a change. A much better event in my view than the mediocre and unimaginative stuff we have to put up with up North! My only disappointment was the distinct lack of activity in the Showmans line up. Few of them even turned a wheel at the times I walked through the section (with the notable exception of the Foster), at least until the dash for the low loaders at four. More effort required here, I think!
