A different type of Pistonhead

Some seriously heavy metal at the Great Dorset Steam Fair yesterday. Watched one engine pull 140 tons of train up the hill in the main arena which was pretty impressive. It's nice to see so many enthusiastic people at play. Fred Dibnah Lives!!








Had to feel sorry for these guys - god knows how much coal they'll shift during the show


Small Gallery here if anyone's interested.

My dad's got an engine just like that small one in his garden at the moment - looking after it for someone! Sometimes he just can't say no.

I LOVE the smell of traction engines, they are so "alive".
