Steam Rally 2018 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is one of a series of pages which I have uploaded to illustrate facets of steam rallies we have attended in the UK. Such events occur all over the country in the summer months, they are easily found by using your favourite search engine and may have anything between a handful of steam engines and hundreds (as at the Great Dorset Steam Fair which could probably be fairly described as having an excess of riches). Click here for the Weeting 2018 index and click here for the overall index for 2018. Details below were taken from the official programme, personal observation and also David Collidge's Steam Scenes site http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/ which continues to be the most reliable source of information. Not shown here are a number of stationary engines and the miniature and standard gauge railways. Buried in the Saunder's collection steam yachts is Reg, I have previously photographed it and it was a casualty of shortage of time. See see Old Warden Rally 2016 and Whiby Steam Rally 2017. Portable Engines
Fire Engines
These two were the only ones in the programme. The two shown are a Clark replica (2000) and a Stanley BS 9511, which was used to give guest of honour local MP Liz Truss a tour of the main arena at the end of the grand parade. The Stanley is 1923 Model 740B #23612 - having failed to track it down in 2017, this year I found where it was stationed, right next to the timber yard, a classic case of "It's behind you".
