Sellindge or Strumpshaw Hall 26th May
As the title says, which would be best for miniature steam traction?
Only got the one day, so I need the experts advice as to which would be best. Many Thanks. |

Perhaps being the same every year will be its demise. A lot of rally's fall apart due to not getting anything new for the punters to look at. The next thing will be the cost of putting such a show on out ways the punters through the gate. Sorry for being a dark shadow but that's how it is. It will be a great shame if it does fall down, Les and his Family put their all into building it up.

Just got back from Strumpshaw - as a paying customer. Excellent day: glorious weather: great atmosphere: nearly 50 full size plus nearly 40 miniature engines (according to the programme - lost count): lovely setting: infernal combustion in a separate field (did I say that?): the 'jamboree' aspect was on the far side of the beer tent from the steam area. Big bonus for me, as a relative newcomer to TT, was putting faces to some of the names on here. Only one minor criticism - a lot less working than at Weeting. Now will someone with a better camera than me please post some photos?

Took the Ruston to Sellindge Saturday and Sunday. Saturday it was deserted and today more visitors but the show really is a shadow of its former self. Was surprised there was no mention of Les in the show. The band last night were damn good though...
In the middle of the miniature steam was the biggest Winnebago i have seen for ages. The awning had its own postcode. The exhibit?? A stationary engine. Pop pop pop... The owner was very king though and demonstrated his unsilenced generator until 11pm so that the telly would work. |
