MDFord Posted August 31, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The DB looks in very good condition. Was the Train a special event this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
