Personally I'm happy enough for them to be preserved empty. If you want to see a loaded wagon in the heritage era, there are always ballast hoppers. You don't see preserved buses with 50 real or false passengers sitting inside them on display,...

Thinking on it, I don't think I've missed a Giants of Steam event since my first one in 2002 when 34027 Taw Valley was the visitor (but had failed on the day I visited). Also having had a look, my runs behind 71000 were almost exactly 20 years...

My video from a brilliant weekend, huge thanks to all invloved. The crowds did take the edge of travelling at times on Saturday with young children in tow, however as an event it was superb. Saturday was spent at Kingscote, Sheffield Park then...
