    Torbay Steam Fair - 2014

    Annual festival of bikes, cars, trucks and... steam!

    I was only able to spend a couple of hours there on Saturday this year so missed Sunday's big parade of an estimated 300 Nortons but did see lots of bikes, some of the magnificent trucks and a couple of 'steam at work' displays. I should have shot more as the light was perfect but took quite a lot of video instead (I need the practice).


    Saw Mill (this thing always gives me the willies as it would most certainly not take prisoners)

    Thresher and Baler - make hay while the sun shines!

    Lots of beautifully restored trucks. If only I had a garage big enough.

    And of the hundreds of Nortons on display this Norvil Commando 750 is easily the one I'd liked to have taken home with me.

          Thanks guys!

          I think the dog does have a licence but has to stand on the back of an Alsatian as he can't reach the pedals

          Cheers,

                Thanks Tigger and John.

                Dorset? I may do as I've never been despite my sister living in Wimborne and almost pleading with me to come down and take her.

                Cheers,
                John
