Welland Steam Rally 2022
Ploughing Engines, Wagons, Crane Engines, a Portable and
Steam Locomotives
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 2022 index.
It seems that no ploughing took place on Saturday (or presumably) Sunday, the parched ground would not have been suitable. I didn't see the engines on Saturday but I have been told that for a while they were positioned in the usual area which I had no time to visit. I understand that although there was a cultivator present, neither had its cable run out.
