Not long to go now! Sounds like a good number of entries in all sections. 6 full size steamers and 2 miniatures in the programme and 2 saw benches joining the reed comber in a very busy working area. A nice road run on the Saturday night, but I think we're all hoping it's a little drier than last time!
All being well we'll be roading the Wallis and Burrell over and back again, but we've got a couple of busy weekends to get to that stage yet!

Chester is sat patiently waiting on the lowloader. The working area must be full as they turned down my offer to bring my rack bench due to space restrictions. Off to Holland tomorrow for the international stationary rally at Nuenen this weekend, it should be a special event as it's the 25 anniversary with some of the earliest infernal combustion engines on the planet some dating back to 1865! 12 years before the four stroke was invented. I'll be taking my 1897 Benz & Co from the famous car makers.Mike.

Yeah, very busy Mike! We've got two rack benches already, so I'm sure Chester can have fun driving one at some point! Have a good trip to Holland

Just got back from site and it's all starting to come together!
4 engines already on site:
Allchin 3251
A&P 8624
Burrells 3381 and 3956

Ruston 52266 is on its low-loader somewhere while Burrell 3903 and Wallis 7294 are both prepped and ready to run over in the morning.

With a brilliant forecast it's shaping up to be a great show!
