Koppel returns to service after four years of restoration. Left the locomotive is being unloaded on the Friday. With tape across the tracks held by two young ladies from the Wild West encampment. Luke gives a wave as the locomotive hauls its first passengers.   

Stig of Top Gear fame is about to give one of locomotives a test around the railway track. The Gala Queen Emily Liddler poses for a photograph in the drivers seat. 2 Grand John Neill and Sallie Lax of 2 Grand fame after officially opening the Event on the main stage were happy to pose for us. Stuart stands next to a rather taller young lady, would she be able to sit in one of our carriages find out by visiting our Microsoft Live Album.

Something for all ages. Eat plenty of chips a burger or two then face the challenge of the "Wild Thing" Stig being in the park both days must have inspired many of the younger drivers to tackle the Racing Car machine. Go on this roundabout enough times you may just travel the equivalent distance to Bridlington.

For a third year the very popular Wild West encampment set up their homes. I am sure the gentleman with the lamp has not aged much over those three years. A chance for others to have their photographs taken. 

What would any event be without its charity stalls. My wife picked up many pots of jam, a low wattage kettle, a plate of cakes and other items. For the these groups who patiently set up their stalls this is a marvellous day to help raise some funds as well as publicise their organisation.   

This event attracts many singers, dancers and other performers which prove to be very popular with the visitors. The Irish dancers are always a very popular attraction each year and without doubt they were as popular and the costumes were very colourful.  No bright colours on Malcolm's TMCR T-shirt as he operates the sound equipment on Stage 2.

Thorne's Got Talent competition gets underway, whilst the Pom Pom dancers take to the arena in front of Stage 2. The Thorne Male Voice Choir made an appearance on the Sunday on Stage 1.
