Shrewsbury Steam Rally 2015
Sentinel Steam Waggons and More
This is one of a series of pages I will be uploading to
illustrate facets of steam rallies we have attended in our part of 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

2015 marked the centenary of the Sentinel works moving to
Shrewsbury and there was a bumper turn out of Sentinel products. On the
Saturday there had been a road run over the Horseshoe Pass on the old A5
which I believe was the traditional testing route, but we had to miss this
owing to family commitments. The two smaller tractors are very special. I
believe 3976/1921 was on site but unfortunately it eluded me, its allocated
peg being vacant every time I walked past.
