Old Mill Road Run
 

What a cracking day, nothing better then the New Forest on a hot sunny day in October, and a 10 mile road run to the sea and back!!! One of the best days out! Great selection of engines too!!!
Now some photos!

It was indeed a lovely run, it was a priveledge to be a part of it.

Brilliant day out. Nice to see Sentinel 5509 out and about.

How quick is that 4" showmans going? i thought the film had sped up to start with!

Matt

No it really is that fast, quicker than most of the traction engines on the run! 4" Mclarren Showmans

He came past us doing about 20MPH!!! Its fast!!!

Ahhh yes the lovely Mclaren Showmans, I think it is very highly geared? Truly fantastic engine that.

Looks like a good day out. Would like to go.

I have it on good authority that the Mclaren is pretty much geared 1:1 in top!! Also remember hearing something about flat out she will do a good 30
