Excellent atmosphere at the event, they work wonders in a small space.

As always, please let me know of any errors or omissions, I understand that some local engines were liable to turn up after opening time.

Thanks to Neil Edwards for a couple of historical pictures of the CJ trust collection. If anyone has a picture of the missing WS roller 7601 which could be included please get in touch.

She was sheeted up early in the day but she was uncovered later when I took the photo.

it was a shame especially with it being surrounded by nice clean engines.... cough nightmare was a few down....

are engines like that on the to do list or are they open for sale/offers? I could not figure out if it was a trust or not.

Queen of the boyne has been sat in almost the same spot, since i went last in 2013

a shame. I would give an engine like that a loving home and restoration :-)

Didn't recognise 'Vera' with her new paint job!! Haven't been for a couple of years but always one of our favourite rallies partially due to the relaxed atmosphere and the games.

I have so many good memories of QoB. What a sad scene.

[steaming my way]

It's not owned by the trust I should point out! It's a shame as others have said, but for a while it didn't even have a sheet so at least it's half protected now!
