5-6 September 2015. Our operational steam engine, Andrew Barclay 'Lord Fisher' marked its 100th Birthday with some grand celebrations. We were delighted that its owner, Barry Buckfield, and his guests visited on the Sunday. Some information on the event can be found HERE and HERE Our thanks go to all the Attractions, Volunteers and others who made this special event. Thanks Guys. |
Prior to the event, Len Copland from Western Gazette came up and took some photos for the newspaper. Here is the demonstration of the reflector to highlight Rog and Pete's faces and the front of the engine. This was a gloomy and wet Sunday morning! (Photo courtesy Paul Gould) |
Now Ron has a go whilst Len takes the photos and shows the results. (Photo courtesy Paul Gould) |
