Looks like next years event should be one not to be missed :) |
Its still a great pity that they wont allow miniatures

They are trying to build an authentic scene in the various parts of the site with period vehicles and the owners all in correctish dress. Whilst the site is fairly roomy, once it is full of vehicles it gets quite congested. Miniatures would not help at all, and would make it fairly dangerous in places. I am disappointed that they do not want my 1953 Morris Van but the cut off date is 1930 for vehicles, so I just live with it. |
The possible way out of this would to have an area with a display of miniature working steam.
Also have set times for vehicles to drive around the site ? I may be wrong but I do not think their are any control over vehicle movement at large events like the G.N.S.F. After all they have their own miniature steam train. |

I like miniatures, we own one but I don't really see a place for them at the GNSF. The site is fairly rammed with full size vehicles. |
Surely the best way would be to have a weekend solely dedicated to model engineering, a sort of Alley Palley out in the open.

I live in hope of the day they let us plough a field up...... :cool::cool:

Count me in Kev :p

Fowler 17106 has been sent back to Fowler's for repairs in readiness for Beamish in April.

The reason I posted that link was to show the line about heavy haulage being the theme this year .
|
I have just been told that the Great North Steam Fair has been cancelled.

I got the Beamish Transport email / newsletter earlier and that states the GNSF and the working Horses events are postponed ... |
