100 GDSF 2012 Photographs

[ttp2011]

Thank you for sharing your photos with us.

To people like myself who were not able to attend GDSF this year, it was like being there !

I really appreciate your efforts, many thanks.

About 43, either built new or converted by Burrell during their working life. 16 survive and at GDSF in 2008 they manage to assemble 13 of them.

One and the same isn't it but with canopy removed. Garrett superheated TE 29764 'Olive'

Is Mr Hitchin thinking of buying a Mann tractor to go with his wagon?

Thanks David, I began to think we would not see any photo's of this years show. How do you manage to get photo's with no public in the shot, I can never manage it, even when i wait patiently.

Once again thanks for selection.

Used to look like this prior to rebuilding with superheater smokebox as originally built by Garretts

I'll post some more pictures of it later because it was interesting.
