I'll be there doing my usual thing in the boiler room.  I have a new engine, the opposed piston steam engine to show plus a few of my older engines.  The theme of the annual reunion show this year is "Steam Engines" and at last count over 100 exhibitors of steam engines are registered.   That's on top of our  collection of traction engines, stationary steam and internal combustion engines.

Hope to see some of you there.

Cheers,
Phil

I assume you mean 100 full-size steam engines. ???

Stan,
I think some will be scaled down versions of traction engines, but yes, many will be full sized.  Our coal budget would buy a brand new compact car!

Hi Stan,
 Thanks for posting up those video links!
Looks like you had a fun weekend! 100 traction engines in one place , don't think there's that many in this country, what a site!
Loved the little roller, just what you need to get the cricket pitch flat! Oh and that Shay is just a little Honey!

Cheers Kerrin
Get excited and make something!

Thanks Stan, I always like Gil's videos and he certainly has a big collection of engines.

Will look at the full size vids later.
