As part of the May day celebrations there was a play with the sun and a dragon.

We went to the Tudor May day celebrations at Kentwell Hall.

There was a selection of tractors.

There are two railways at Audley End, a small one and this miniature one.

There were a number of traction engines of various sizes.

There were a number of engines running on the two railways, here are Barbara Curwin and Lord Braybrooke, while the unit that pulled our train was Doris the diesel engine.

Admittedly I have no immediate plans to release an album, but if I did, this would be in the artwork somewhere.

All around the short loop of track there are teddy bears hiding in the woods or waiting at the station.

There was a small selection of stationary engines. Taken out of their original context and put onto wheels, some of these machine gain a bizarre twitchiness when working.

We went for a steam day at the Audley End Miniature Railway
