Market Bosworth Miniature Traction Engine Weekend
I have just got home from a most excellent first time miniature steam rally put on by the Battlefield Line at Market Bosworth Station. There were over 20 miniature traction engines ranging up to 6" scale, plus one full size engine for comparison, and a very good indoor display of model layouts. The atmosphere was friendly, the engines were free to run around, refreshments were available and of course there was also the railway to ride on.
Well done to all concerned. Long may it continue !! Best wishes, steamfreak |

Here are a few photographs as requested. Not many because by the time I got there the clouds had rolled in.
The miniature showman's 'The Griffin' was powering the organ and sounded lovely working hard. This year the Battlefield Line has a number of special events involving road steam. For details visit their web-site. www.battlefieldline.co.uk |

Thank you so much to everyone who came, both with engines and as visitors. We had 24 miniature traction engines at the show over the weekend, and it will return on April 26th/27th 2014. I am always happy to give information about it if anyone has any questions about exhibiting or visiting. Thank you again everyone. Sam - Organiser of MTEW

Hi guys, I know this event was a few months ago now but I have been reading a lot on Traction Talk about lack of miniature photo's so I thought I would attempt to add some to some of the threads. However, I'm a bit useless on here when it comes to adding pics at the minute and am still learning the software so I thought I would add some to this thread as a bit of practise. The shots below show the engines around the yard during the weekend and the odd couple of pics from the pub up the road. We had 24 miniatures in attendance but I didn't get time to photograph all of them...I was too busy...but I tried my best!
Hope you enjoyed that! I will try harder to add pics in future. Our next Miniature event at Market Bosworth is April 26th/27th 2014 and I am already accepting queries and requests from owners about next years show. The theme is "Miniature Steam at Work" so all related displays are welcome - drop me a PM if you have any questions Thank You |
