Welland Steam Rally 2017
Rollers, Ploughing Engines, Crane Engine, Wagons, Steam Cars, Portables and a
Steam Shovel.
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 Welland index and click here for
the overall 2017 index.
Below are those of these steam engines types that I recorded.
For steam on rails, see the working
engines page.
Steam Rollers
Welland had a slightly better selection than usual, but it
seems not to be the organiser's main area of interest.
The Eerie machine is a
wonder to behold with no less than three pairs of cylinders to perform the
various functions. For a video of this working at Beamish in 2015 see in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ltarkOYkM. For
more detailed pictures, see the
Welland 2016 report.
