Hollycombe Steam Collection

Today we visited the amazing Hollycombe Steam Collection. Fred Dibner would have loved this place. There is a fairground which is all driven by steam. Here are Karen and Lisa on the Golden Gallopers.... We went for a ride on Caledonia, an old slate mine engine.
Some of those rides are scarry...
Lisa and Joe on the race cars. Hope they both steer the same way!
This engine drives the bioscope and steam organ. Check here to see Lisa dancing to the organ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81w6dck4oBM
Back to the car for a picnic...
This is the standard method of transport at Hollycombe for the Steam Enthusiast and his long suffering wife...
Great day out.
