Default Abergavenny Steam Rally 28th & 29th of May 2017.

My first time at this very enjoyable event, I was surprised to see it so well supported by exhibitors and the Public, the sheer number of exhibits in the various sections was almost unbelievable on just 10 acres which included the Exhibitor and Trader overnight parking, my only complaint being Sunday and Monday it did seem strange not being held on the Saturday, but all in all an excellent Rally.

Great pictures, especially of the Shires - many thanks for sharing.

What scale is the Caterpillar dozer?

Cheers Carl.

Carl,
Thanks for kind comment, the Caterpillar scale I really don't know but guess 4", when the Kids were sitting on it for Mums to take photos they must have been all interested in Steam every Kid put his fingers down the exhausts and got dirty, out came the wet wipe things, several of us were talking about the Machine and formed the opinion that it would perhaps be a play thing for a Pop Star/ Football player perhaps otherwise I have no idea of it`s purpose.
