Jo:
Another year, another GMES Steam Gala. Mike Coles and I attended and set up our stand:



I brought along a selection of models that could cope with the forecast rain,



Mike brought his big aero engines to run and a Perkins Hit and miss that he had just finished:

Jo:
It did not take Mike long before his itch to run the Bentley took over:



Clamping down to the workmate, with the horse tether line securing it to prevent it tipping over:



We had not taken note of the birthday party group setting up behind our running cage  :ShakeHead: But later I began to regret talking Mike out of turning his engine so it would spray oil all over them give them a pleasant draft:



And of course the Bentley fired up first time.

More pics to come in a couple of hours as I have Bluechip just arrived  :)

Thanks for the photos Jo, the weather looked quite useable after all, and a fine selection of varied models was presented.  Hope that they were well appreciated by attendees. Dave

Jo:
A few pics of Keith's engines:

Jo:
And finally his Lordship's new casting set  :pinkelephant:



An orphaned score, complete with a full set of plumbing from Stuarts. There are a number of "features" on this model that will need sorting out, including a machined valve whose pocket goes all the way through  ::)
