Pickering Traction Engine Rally 2009 (Large Pics)
 

Not a bad turnout of engines again this year, shame Lightning II didnt attend but at least the weather held out this time.

Here is a selection from the hundreds of photos I have taken at this years event. Enjoy.












































And a few evening shots just for good measure




As usual, plenty more can be found here

Any pics of disgruntled engine owners ????, go on put them up !!!!.

:)

Looks a good line up. What a shame it could be the last! (Lightening II is in a yard in Sussex undergoing major work).

From the text I just got, it won't be long until this evenings events are on Sky News!

Did you notice the dead body on the back of the Sentinel ! A organiser perhaps !!

LMAO, I've been doing that today on the A5!

I didnt realise sheets were so comfertable.

i wonder how much cash / how many suit cases they're carrying? I'll keep my eye out on the m40 if theyre heading south!

Ah but at least that owner can claim his missing money on tax payers expenses.

Lightning II is still undergoing major rebuild and was never going to attend this event. Her first public outing won't be untill next year.

Just the local MP hoping his latest expense claim doesn't get found out.....

I must say for a Burrell, Excelsior looks quite smart now!

Doesn't notyalc's engine look the picture with that saw bench set up?

Terrific images Stuart as always .Well done .

Thanks Peter but be carefull what you say, remeber you will be in front of my camera lens in a few weeks ;)

What is the Identity of the little fowler in picture 219, looks like Puffing Billy but its not.
and did anyone ask the price of the fowler roller that is for sale

Well for heavens sake come up and say hello you know you are always welcome on Valiant, Stuart

Dont worry Peter, i'll be holding you to that. Im looking forward to catching up with you again :-)

:D my dad Robert, as an MP though perhaps he was just as lucky to escape the event with his life; especially with accusations of stealing coal (we were burning wood on our other engine, so a little extra coal for the road run and getting home didn't seem too unacceptable)
