Welland Steam Rally 2023
Ploughing Engines, Wagons, Crane Engines, Portables 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).

Ploughing Engines
Steam Wagons
There was a nice representative sample here and two of the engines were 'not seen before' which was a real bonus for me.
Crane Engines
5 crane engines, 4 with their jibs on made a fine sight. I suspect that only the smaller Burell 3695 would have been able to get around the wood sawing area safely as it does at its home rally Weeting.
Portable Engines
The small Barrows portable is delightful.
