Welland Steam Rally 2024
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). Click here for the Welland index and click here for the overall 2024 index.
Ploughing Engines
Steam Wagons
There was a nice representative sample, Welland seems to defer to Shrewsbury in this respect..
Crane Engine
The small Burell would have been able to get around a crowded wood sawing area safely as it does at its home rally Weeting.

Portable Engines
This demonstration was a nice touch, it would have been marketed for affluent country houses.

Steam Locomotives
These are always difficult to photograph even if the sun shines and they tend to get a low priority as you can see!
