Wow! What a busy day as we set up for the PftP event, which starts tomorrow...
Below: The horse drawn street sweep and steam roller Rambler were involved in a press call at 11am - here we see the sweep (brought in from Bradford Industrial Museum). This is a remarkably effective device and is great fun to watch!
Below: Rambler and the sweep, also the water cart - dampening down the dust before sweeping takes place.
Below: The Tarmac Sentinel S6, unloaded and posed in the colliery.
Below: And later joined by the 1920 Tarmac living van, newly restored at Beamish.
Below: Much excitement greeted the arrival of Cardiff 131 from Crich - seen here with Sheffield 254 - a never to be repeated shot?!
Below: Over the pit for a commissioning inspection, and alongside fellow visitor, Leeds 6 - so that's two works trams...
Below: ... and here is the third - Blackpool Engineering Tram No.4! The tram looks stunning and I will post pictures of it outside tomorrow!
Below: Another view of Blackpool 4 (aka Blackpooll 31). Unfortunately we haven't yet been able to extract the Blackpool tower wagon, but will persist...
Below: After the museum closed, 131 made a number of test runs around Beamish. Seen here entering the loop at Pockerley.
Below: This view of 131 in the town.
Below: And the traditional view in front of the bank (when the lighting is so lovely - hoe the weather continues in this vein!).
Below: Meanwhile in the colliery Graham Morris arrived with the two Wrens...
Below: Wren 3114 after unloading onto our temporary construction railway.
Below: Peter Pan slumbers in the 'Wren house'!
I'll be posting more images tomorrow - hopefully they will tempt blog readers to come and visit us! With more support we can plan even bigger and better (and more diverse!) events...
