It was a great weekend, despite the torrential rain all day Friday. Sat and Sun turned out very nice indeed.
Just got back this afternoon. And I managed to do the road run into Masham on the 3" Marshall which was very enjoyable. Would like to thank all the nice chaps that helped me out with coal and water etc when I got there.
A few pics of the engines, sorry none of the road run, was a little busy trying to keep steam up.

Hope they are of interest

Regards
John

Any info on the Fowler? Phoenix, its one i've never seen before. Its unusual to see a Fowler that colour as well.

Great Photos there. I saw you at the rally with your miniatures.
And about Phoenix. Its a really good looking engine that is. When you see it in the flesh it looks even better. In the program it said built up from a number of bits over several years or something on the lines of that. Whatever bits they used they made a fine job of it.

Jamie, thats what it said in the Duncombe Park program. In the Masham program it gives it as works number 2696 built 1904. If built in 1904 number should be around 9000. Although it looks a nice engine something not right about it.

Lovely to see all you like minded folk there.
