Yes I was lucky and there wasn't many people about. I've never seen an engine wood sawing in such an authentic environment before.

David is absolutely right and here's a picture of the logs being handled using the musuem's newly restored yard crane too.

An excellent event as mentioned in other posts, good to see the engines neatly spaced out and clutter free.
One unusual item that drew great interest was the Hudspith steam gramophone, The steam exhausts through the centre of the sound horn.

Singleton is also a great venue for miniatures. Since my last visit even more of the woodland paths are wheel chair accessible which make them ideal scale road for my miniature
