Default Weeting Rally 1995

A few photo's taken at Weeting Rally 1995. In those days with roll film I only took the engines I needed for my photo collection.
Don't know if I have put these on before, excuse me if I have.
Enjoy

Kind regards,

I was 25 and it was about the second/third time I visited Weeting. My brother was into Model Engineering before me and said "Lets go to Weeting Steam rally" the Bugger, I am now officially hooked! Not missed a Weeting Rally since...........

As you say where has the time gone? The big Five"o" isn't far off now.

Cheers Chris H

I was 44 .Remember Nigel with his top hat on , & Sarney's engine with those bugger off shakells on the back with the wooden block & snatch block on the back. We lost the wooden block one year going into the fairground at Dorset where the walkway is now between the fairground & the thrashing/woodsawing /craft tent field is now, you could drive in there ,either way at that entrance ,& the block grounded as we went over the uneaven ground & got left behind , until I noticed it.
