Great Dorset Steam Fair

There will be a short break in the blog whilst I visit once again the Great Dorset Steam Fair. I shall arrive at Tarrant Hinton on Sunday 28th August and return on Sunday 4th September.

The event held on a 600 acre site is one of the largest of its kind in the world and we are very lucky to get invited to attend on behalf of the NWVTEC.

The photograph below is taken in 'the play pen', heavy haulage area, and Allelys Group who will be in attendance again this year, are hauled round the area by powerful steam road locomotives. The railway loco on the low loader is 35005, 'Canadian Pacific', 4-6-2 Merchant Navy Class built for the BR Southern Region. This locomotive I understand is currently under overhaul.
