Onslow Park Rally, 26 Aug 2012

[Steam Scenes]

Small selection of many pictures I took today at Onslow Park. Loads to see and do, well worth the 90 min queue to get in! Loads of general public in attendance - the biggest crowd I have seen at a rally this year I think.

My favourite bit was Aveling 11463, attending it's first ever event. Not so long ago this engine was standing in a hedge in a very rough condition, TT member Basil has worked his magic on the engine:




Mr Broken Firebar's Aveling & Porter Traction Engine 8401 with a couple of TT members who are a very long way from home:




Another TT regular on his engine, Fowler Traction Engine 8635, Blackjack:




Mine Explorer on his Aveling Roller 8290:




Burrell Showman's Road Locomotive 2879, "Lord Nelson":




Star of the show last year, Fowler Showmans Engine 15375 Supremacy:




Pair of Fowler's with a 30+ years between them, Fowler Traction Engine 9187 & Fowler Traction Engine 21647:




Foden Wagon 11850:




Sentinel 9003:




Foden Tractor 14084, now with the Walker family:




Aveling Traction 2436 and Aveling Roller 10460 were both putting a road making demonstration:




Foster Traction Engine 14410 Sprig was working as normal in the woodsawing area:




Another of engines to be found in the working area at the bottom corner of the site was Fowler Traction 9225, Pride of the Wye and Ransomes Sims & Jefferies General Purpose Engine, 15609 Lady Diana:




And lastly heavy haulage: Burrell Traction Engine 3017 Spider and McLaren Traction Engine 1642:



Well worth a visit if you are in a position to go tomorrow.
