Welland Steam and Country Rally 2012

[TractionTime]

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

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!

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?

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.
