Default Northleach Steam and Vintage Show

Yesterday (Saturday 2nd September) I visited the small rally at Northleach in the Cotswolds.

About a dozen engines were there and these included only one roller, two Burrell Road Locos, a Garrett 4CD and Fowler Showmans Supreme. The rally has a good atmosphere and a site that has real potential as it is on a hill. Unfortunately as it is at the moment, there is very little engine movement at all - some engines did not move during the time I was there. Others moved about 50 yards to get coal/water. There is an excellent wood sawing area with two saw benches of different types working, both powered by steam.

I met up with people I already know from T-T and I introduced myself to others who visit this site. Some very interesting conversation followed about engines and matters connected to restoration.

Below are a few photos taken yesterday. Hawkes really does look very nice indeed, a very impessive machine. Rich - you should be very proud of the engine! I would also like to thank those who made some very positive comments about my artwork after I showed them my portfolio.

Michael - the traction engine artist.
