Default Shildon Steam Weekend 14th-15th July

Usual steam weekend with a few engines at Vintage Vehicles Shildon's lorry museum on both days 10-4pm

BUT

(subject to usual disclaimers)

I am aiming to have 3315 in steam at the event and in a presentable condition, tender and boiler exams permitting. Maybe even trundling around town a bit after the public have gone home.

To celebrate I hope that local owners will join us, with or without engines, and all on TT who have followed the progress and supported by buying stuff from me, giving advice, selling parts or coming and giving a hand. If all is well, we hope to have a barbecue and a few choice beverages if a local brewer can be persuaded to do a special brew for the occasion.

Hoping you can come - oh yes, there's also a vintage tractor rally at the railway museum on the Sunday if that floats your boat...

Cheers
Anthony

Museum finances suggest that this might be the last year for Vintage Vehicles Shildon, so please come and make it a weekend to remember!

Going to be a small but friendly gathering, up to half a dozen engines, all on hard standing, no mud or fields - and lots of undercover to stand and drink tea or ale in!

3315 is going to be a push given the weather, but we'll have a darned good try.

Ah, that explains the downpour......knew there had to be a reason......

see you at the show, if not before.
