Hi Craig, I haven't had time to name most of the pictures but the pictures I took at Astle Park are on
http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563901673vfyHVp
The first pictures are the "rare as Dobby Horse Shit" Atkinson Cycle in the Anson tent.
I also liked the horizontal Lister D, but then I always did have a sense of humo(u)r.
Many other good engines, in fact after 24 years of attending the 1000 I must
have seen about 5 engines new to me every year including this one.
Lets hope we get better weather next year
