Steam Scene Extravaganza, McLeans Island, Christchurch (15th - 16th April, 2023)
This site is host to 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, click here for the overall index for 2023.
Similar events occur outside the UK, mainly in the English speaking parts of the world but also in continental Europe. In general they tend to be small by UK standards and I am extremely grateful to Wilson Lythgoe for providing the pictures and information for this rally in South Island, New Zealand.
There have been regular steam events here for many years - I attended one in October 2002.
If any local 'steam' enthusiasts read this report, then I would be very grateful for similar contributions for other events in the country and, of course, this applies elsewhere, particularly Australia which has historical connections to the UK and many UK built steam road engines.
