![]() 3 forum posts 3 photos | A friend and myself went today (Friday). Loved the remote control trucks, diggers and crane, thanks guys great display. Wish one of the clubs would have put on a display of live steam stationary engines (or did I miss it?)!!! I haven't been for a few years so enjoyed the visit and gave me a chance to stock up with "Bits and Pieces". Edited By Brian Lee on 17/01/2014 22:02:25 |

484 forum posts 8 photos | Hi Brian Live steam on an exhibition stand? The 'safety elf' would go apoplectic if you mentioned it let alone did it. I am not a big fan of the'safety elf' but I think under the circumstances it would not be the most prudent thing to do. If you must run them a small compressor would suffice. Just my opinion. |

Mind you Harrogate is a proper show |

3334 forum posts 63 photos | Andrew, Good decision, why anyone would come down from York when you have probably the best exhibition shortly, in Harrogate I do not know. Even JS says it is a "proper show". |

![]() 2550 forum posts 1211 photos | Hi, I went today, arrive there at around 11:30 and parking was a bit of a strugle. Bought just a few things, one of which was a second hand M&W 6" Toolmakers' straight edge No. 315 for a tenner, probaly a little overpriced but it suits my needs. I took photos of three locos which I thought were interesting, which can be viewed here **LINK** for anyone who may be interested. Regards Nick. |
