Bedfordshire Steam And Country Fayre 2025 - Traction-Talk

Steam Boy Hertford · #1 Post / In Thread Yesterday, 01:06 PM

Photos from Friday at Bedfordshire Steam And Country Fayre. Following last year's successful return to Old Warden, this year's event hosted close to the pre-COVID era's turnout of Full-Size Traction Engines. A good mix of regulars, debuters and newly restored. In the pre-COVID era, this event was always the second largest but following the demise of the Great Dorset Steam Fair back in 2022, Bedfordshire, as of now, holds the crown for the largest Steam Rally in the UK. Next year is going to be a double anniversary for the event, so I'll be keeping an eye out for announcements.

So true - much like others for example the A&P Wagon (9282), A&P Ploughing Engines (8890 & 8891) , Burrell Ploughing Engines (776 & 777) and Foden Showmans Tractor (12782) I've only seen in photos and magazines, so far, they are very rare beasts
