Coal firing at its (almost) best

[400Parker]

Not G scale (or 16mm) and not running on rails, but the smell's the same! Some images from the Great Dorset Steam Fair yesterday. Highly recommended (apart from the dust!)

How's the P.A. system and the music?

One of S.i.Ls is supposed to be doing the sound system this year.

One of these years I must make the effort and go. (I'll probably say the same next year.)

Unfortunately missing it this year as the 4 hour window between waking and work starting again doesn't really give value for money! Still I'll no doubt see more slowly trundling through from Sunday on the way home again

A fantastic show used to go every year when I lived down west . Some really good beer tents if you like your real ales and ciders.

I remember as a kid going to the steam fair still remember the smells and not being able to understand the locals!

This is a taster of what was going on in the main ring.
