In rather wet conditions underfoot, BeyerGarratt K1 is seen between showers at Statfold Barn. not my image : fair use & public entertainment [On 18th March 2023 Imaged by K Hardy but sent to me by a guy I know slightly]

Cawfields Quarry loco at Town Foot, about where Potts Plant Hire is now [date of image - not known] The CQR was laid in 1905, and had several steam and IC locomotives. . The loco was built in 1902 by Kerr Stuart for work on the construction of the dam at Lake Vyrnwy in Wales, and is named after the reservoir. ["Sidar" class, 0-4-0 T, works no 748 of 1902] {only problem with that date is Lake Vyrnwy was built in the 1880s} Apparently the local name for her was "The Varney" ... suspected scrapped in the 1930s after developing problems with her firebox. There is a very similar loco "Diana" at Threkeld Mining Museum in the Lake District. Not my Image : fair use & public information

Almost all the full size steamers are now in the arena, ranging from a Robey "Tandem" roller [the red one on the extreme right] to various Fowlers and Showman's, plus a Sentinel S4 steam waggon. The last ones to enter were the matched pair of Fowler ploughing engines, currently just leaving their base on steam line.

Another view of the miniature steamers, and several more of the full-size machines have come into the arena.

Display garden on Riverside [next to the R. Tyne] The "Spaceship" is the UFO in the background. Scanned image. But I need to find my notes / the guidebook / map to work out which one it is !

Pretty sure that this was taken during the later stages of the construction phase, well before May 1990. I'm looking across the R.Tyne, from near the eastern end of what is now Newcastle Business Park. The structure of the extreme right is "Dunston Staithes" - the means of loading coal onto ships for export. It was restored for the festival, and it's centenary ! [Very unfortunately, parts of it have been cremated by idiotic vandals, on more than one occasion, and it is now badly damaged]

Steam dredger moored alongside the Waterways Museum in Gloucester. I understand that restoration is progressing, but in the early stages. Originally posted 8th Jan 2017 - by 11/Jan/2021 had 241 visits, 2 yellow stars, no comments.
