A brief bit of sun at the start of the day soon gave way to cloud and rain. First time visit for me, and will certainly visit again in the future. A few gloomy pictures.

If any one has the works No. of this Aveling which I failed to record, it would be much appreciated.

I think it could be 1922 Aveling & Porter 10072 (YA 3783).

And thanks for the photos!

Fantastic well composed photos Sir, thank you for sharing.

I think you're right Phil. Thanks for that.
Looks a bit different to when I photographed it previously!

I recorded it as Aveling 10072 yesterday at Astle Park.
Not an engine I'd seen before.

The older picture was taken at Hollowell in 2007

Is that the ex Long Ashton UDC roller?

Yes, 10072. For a very similar picture taken at Onslow in 2019 see:

You have shown about 30 engines which is about half the number I saw when I went in 2017, but understandable in the circumstances. I assume that was just about all those present?

Renown was in the fairground area, and I may have missed one or two others, but that's all. It rained a fair bit, so I wasn't taking notes.
