Astle Park
 

We made a quick visit to Astle Park today. Nice weather and a good line up of engines. We took our daughter's highly strung Australian Kelpie along. She did not like it at all, particularly the organs. My wife took over the camera so I set it on 'Auto' but forgot to tell her about the zoom ring. All in all she did well.

Never been to this show previously and I intended to go yesterday but the weather made me think twice .
Looks a good show , must get there next year .

You should have come today...sun was out at 6am this morning and still out at 7pm when I left for home and it was very warm all day long. :D

Cheers

Tez ;)

Nice to see the pics, sitting down again! hehe

I camped so had the 2 days :D deffinatly a good do! Great to see all the engines again, I've not been able to play for about 2 years! Was made up to see Lord Lascelles, my favourite engine by far! Met Reliance for the first time (I think) was shocked at the fire pictures! 2 year rebuild is astonishing!

Great weekend and as per usual, I have a little sun burn on my head!

I popped over briefly on Saturday. Picked the bad weather day and made worse by a wriggling nipper who just wanted his mum. A nice rally though and good to see it looking good after last year. Managed to talk to a few faces and a brief look at the engines. A decent turn out of well presented engines. One for next years diary, pending a pass out from higher powers!

Jezus, I hope Greg doesn't use them lamps when it gets dark. The oncoming traffic will not be able to see.

Them things are nearly as bad as a welding arc!

They were a bugger to polish too!

Had a good time at Astle, weather stayed kind and it was well supported by exhibitors and public. Met some old friends and made some new ones. Thank you to the organisers/volunteers for all of their work behind the scenes. Some of my pics, Lee.

Some very nice pictures there Lee. You've captured what was a very enjoyable couple of days.
