Welland Steam and Country Rally 2012
 

As I've not had the chance to visit as many rallies as I would of liked to have done this year i'm pleased that the final one I visited, Welland, had a good turnout of engines consider it has been rescheduled from earlier in the year. The weather has also been very pleasant all day too!

I do hope you enjoy viewing some of the photo's I've taken today.
































As usual, many more of my photo's from today can be found by cliking here

What about the railway locomotive?

Waiting to get shot for saying the R word!

David Littleboys box trucks look spot on

Here you got then :confused:

Very nice, thanks - what is the black Fowler Road Loco, is it 'Midnight'? Wasn't aware there was a preserved railway in the area, or was it specially built for the event?

Busted.

I heard someone had pinched Whistling Willie's engine. Hope it went as well as a certain Fowler roller

The line was specially built up the side of the carpark over the summer months, using track that used to be at Titley Station on the Presteigne Branch. There are rumours that it might be extended for next year to connect to the line that the steam crane runs on.

Yes the Fowler road loco was midnight.

You meant you travelled several hunded miles round trip to go to Weland in preference to Woodus' Carnival a couple of miles down the road with good company???

I can only assume we worked you and Casey too hard last weekend and you needed a rest.

What is this? Bandsaw or am I being dumb? Any more photos?

Its a Frame saw.

Reciprocates and cuts horizontally. Rather than the old rack saw which is rotary n cuts vertically.

This horizontal saw was built in the early 1900s. Made by Kirchner of Leipzig (Saxony, ex-GDR), it was supplied to Llangedwyn Mill (Oswestry) in mid-Wales. Originally powered by a waterwheel.

Yes very nice indeed but I do wonder if black is the best choice for the mudgards and belly boxes. 9 out of 10 for me!

I believe they are Blue

Better.
