Default Tinkers Park
Blessed with sunshine most of the day despite a dodgy forecast yesterday, yet again an excellent rally.
Debut engine was Allchin 669 Bess of 1890.


Fowlers Nightmare

and Windsor

Sandringham also present but not steamable.

Aveling Porter Southern Queen

And from the sublime to the rediculous......................

Did you notice any wheel tracks on the verge? It looks pretty much like the point we were undertaken by a 4x4 pick up last Monday evening when coming back from Laughton on Hairy Monsters Aveling. Shame there weren't any big holes hidden in the grass as he was going a fair speed.

Great to see Bess out and about again, what an interesting old engine she is. Glad that those pickering govenors have not been put back. I notice that the smokebox is an extension of the boiler barrel, wonder if it will be lagged?
Well done to Steve and all those involved.

Show guide says Ruth Atkinson of Essex. And that its an A8 Road loco with a R3 boiler & nothing fits Hence the name "Nightmare".
