MDFord Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Heres just a few pics from Dorset Steam Fair yesterday. In the 2nd pic she tried pulling the truck & locomotive up the slope single handed, lovely sight and sounds but eventually her wheels began to slip and that was that Quote
MDFord Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 Sorry to add to the 40 series roof colour discussion , but heres an early J reg 8340 and notice the white roof section has a black lower part if you can see what I mean. Quote

ihatepoundland Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I love those traction engine photographs...I had no idea people brought trains to GDSF! Quote
BGU Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 The DB looks in very good condition. Was the Train a special event this year? Quote
MDFord Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 The DB looks in very good condition. Was the Train a special event this year? No BGU for the last few years there has been a different locomotive used as one of the heavy haulage loads. Heres ones from the last couple of years. Quote

Shame I couldn't have made it It certainly is a great event to attend Tris, great atmosphere and plenty of interesting sights. I wonder how compacted the ground gets in the heavy haulage area after they've finished? Quote
