I believe that is all of my pictures of the engines displayed at the show.

If any of you would like to add more please do so.

Such an incredible display of skillsets and craftmanship there

I enjoyed those last pics as well, and will definitely return at another time, as all this simply is to much to take in at once.
Can only imagine how your head must "spin" after being there.

Thanks again Gil !
Cheers

Love the six pounder, caissons and portable forge wagon, along with all the accoutrements. The fellow sitting there was probably the wheelwright for all those as well.

The talent at the N.A.M.E.S. is clearly beyond my poor limited comprehension!

Thanks for all the quality pictures to go with the video Gil! I have sent my grandpa a link so he can look through them and share with his friends. He's been talking about the show everyday!

A beautiful machine like this makes today's efforts at industrial design seem rather pedestrian, hollow and lame!

Glad you guys enjoyed the photo of the real Dancer's End engine, it is a very unique design and quite uncommon and i'm pleased it got saved, the original building that housed it is rather nice too.

It is amazing to think that the scale model in Gil's photos was made from nothing but photographic references. :o
