A few pics of some of the beautiful models on display, taken during Sunday morning steam up...
First out on Sunday morning, the beautiful 4" Case...

The 'overnight' engines ready to go outside after staying the night in the Goods Shed...

"Blue Circle" raises steam in the sidings, to the delight of onlookers...




The 'Perfect Pair' - "Gemini I" & "Gemini II"...



4" Burrell "Florence" gets ready for the day...

And just a few more...

The ever popular 4.5" Foden "Heather" with regular passengers "Freddie" and "Molly"...


A wonderful rarity: a slightly smaller 4" Foden...

Arguably the most photographed engine at the event: 3" Fowler Z7 Ploughing Engine "Winston"...




And in the working area...



Cheers guys - I hope that gives an idea of the event anyway. Thank you to everyone that attended and I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Yes great weekend, thanks Sam, and weather turned out good. First rally for my GMT, also took my Fowler Z7. Here are a couple more photos I took of my engine. Had a nice run up to town center, up hill with trailer on back, 4 persons and Ricks dog.



At the pub enjoying the sunshine. (and a beer)

The highlight of my day both days at the rally is to have the pleasure of getting the engines into the Goods Shed Square to perform the 2pm daily WHISTLE UP featuring everything in steam...The video below was taken from "Mary Marshall" during Sunday's very good effort at blowing Market Bosworth down!!

And, that's about it from us folks, my date for 2015 is April 25th/26th...any engine welcome. Please join us if you wish and we guarantee a warm welcome and lots & lots of whistling!

Hi guys. A final word before this thread heads off into history. As I say next years date is April 25th/26th 2015. I am already on my early searches for exhibits so you may spot me at a rally or two during the season. If anyone has anything or any engine that they would like to bring, or consider bringing, in 2015 then please do let me know, drop me a line and we'll have a chat. Working displays, whatever the display, are wanted again in 2015 and if anyone has a miniature steam roller you would be welcomed with open arms! Kindest Regards, Sam - proud organiser of the little rally at Bosworth. See you all next year

Hi,

Looks like a much enjoyable thing thanks for the pics and by the way you can consider yourself rich in terms if steam ralleys there is not much going on in this country unfortunately

Cheers
Chris
