Welland Steam Rally 2023
Steam Rollers
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).

I think that it's generally true that no one comes to Welland just to see the steam rollers... However, one of the 'no shows' was the Irish based Aveling and Porter 7410 which was a shame as 'new engines' are thin on the ground these days. Actually it turns out that it's a tractor (don't believe everything you read in a rally programme) as it proved by attending the 2024 rally.
