Welland Steam Rally 2019
Ploughing Engines, Wagons, a Crane Engine, 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 2019 index.
Below are the four ploughing engines looking rather sad on
a dull Friday.
The Erie 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.
