Bressingham Steam Gala, 2022
 

This is not a definitive record of the engines present, just a few pictures to give the atmosphere of a pleasant and relaxing event.

However one of the burning topics of conversation was coal. (Apologies!) One of the compressed mixtures of ingredients was being used, and I know that charcoal was being tried at the EATES Crank-Up recently. Could some owners of both full size and miniature engines gives us some comments on how they got on with these please?

And finally - this thing always fascinates me. I think Roland Emett must have had a hand in designing it.
