Woodcote Steam Rally 2014
Working Steam
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).

Woodcote had a significant working arena with good viewing facilities but unfortunately much of it was not steam powered. There was a nice saw bench but the delightful Marshall portable was 'running empty' as there was no corn to thrash/thresh, but since both were well placed along the south side all was not lost.
Burrell 3917/1921 'Triumph' was working a well run saw bench with wood that seemed to have been properly prepared for a change..

Marshall 44110/1905 was ticking over hooked up to a matching thrasher. Apparently it was too early in the year to have a supply of corn to 'do the business'.
