Gents,

It has been a pleasure to see and watch all your visuals while you were at Harrogate. It was almost like being there, except for no outside shots and the smell of burning coal and well cooked steam oil. But you have all done a great job in getting the atmosphere across.

I think we all have to admit that we are only amateurs when you see what these artisans get up to. It boggles the mind thinking what they will come up with for next year. Also what you have to realise is that most of these creations aren't just a couple of hours a night for a few months. Some must have taken almost a lifetime to build. From original conception, making up the drawings, casting the bits and thousands upon thousands of hours over uncountable years, burning the midnight oil to machine up the latest bit that has been designed or cast, and for what?

A little bit of the limelight for this year only, and to give us all so much enjoyment in seeing their creations.

These are truly, people on a mission, and are some of the most gifted, helpful and unassuming people you would ever want to meet. They have oil and iron filings flowing thru their veins.

We left at about 3.30 and I was all ready with the camera, normally we spend an extra half an hour to get 150 yds to the car looking at the stuff outside, but it was just starting to spit with rain and I did not see or smell a single engine so no pictures.
Hear is one I took last time ,it's a scratch and smell,  if you print it out and scratch it , you can smell the anthrasite when you watch the vid
