Elvaston Castle Steam Rally 2011
 

I just come back from Elvaston Castle Steam and it turned out to be a pleasant day with a nice selection of Engines. Here are a few of the images I've taken at this years event, I hope you enjoy them!

For no reason I thought I'd chuck these up too that way I think I've got all the engines that where on display today!

Really enjoyed elvaston yesterday. Good weather, some familiar faces and some different engines. A lovely olds mobile steam car was a new edition too. Proper rally, well done.

Sorry Stuart but you missed photographing Fowler RL No 12906 'Foremost'

LOL! did say i think I had them all ;) Here's Foremost!

Is this made by Beyer Peacock? If so, wow, didn't know they made any steam road vehicles. I thought they only did steam locomotives.

Great photos too, very well done.

No it's made by Mann of Leeds engine No 1365 of 1919

It was one of Beyer Peacock's works vehicles. It was a tipper. Fleet No2

Beyer Peacock did make steam wagons, seemingly they themselves can't have thought much about them!

Good weekend. Some nice outfits there including Phil Jeffs' complete with Eagle trailer.

One other vintage exhibit celebrating its 50th year was this bike. My dad bought it new for Cliff Rodgers to deliver meat from the shop. Done a few miles on it myself. Unfortunately didn't get a photo of Cliff demonstrating the bike so Mike Hartley will have to do.
