Selby Steam Fair 2010

[Cygnus X-1]

Good day out at Selby , one or two showers and cool in the shade but a fine day otherwise.
Better lay out this year in my opinion and a good selection of exhibits on show .

Some shots from Sunday

Doesn't 'Undaunted' look well? Thanks for the pics Dave

Er , well , no .

Quite apart from anything else , the proportions are wrong , and it is interesting to work out how and why .

Seen it today, it looks very good and the owner is very pleased with his engine and dosent give a shit what people say or think.

What a boring pile of parts. Id much sooner spend time looking around and talking to the owner of a nice original tar spraying roller than another run of the mill showmans. Ho hum what is done is done lets just hope it doesn't happen again...

In any other field an object that has been played around with loses much value- ie old clocks, furniture with bits married up or things drastically altered. Even they dont have fairy lights on!!

On our local show at Shrewsbury are several steam and oil engines that have been put back in working order with new engine parts but the rest of them are 'as is/was'. They look the part and show people what they looked like when earning a living.

Im amazed with all these DNB conversions there are that noone has actualy mannaged to make one look like a proper showmans engine.
Is it just me or dose it look identicle to Turners one, Galaxy and Sovereign?
