Went To A Traction Engine Rally Today

Post by ThatOneFox »

The whole thing took up two showgrounds and had all sorts of old vehicles. The traction engines were in the first showground alongside some old tractors (which were doing a weight pull event, and some ended up pulling wheelies), and in the second showground were old bikes and cars (and the fairground).

This was probably the prettiest one there.

Front end shot.

Image There was also an old road laying vehicle.

Image The traction engines weren't the only steam powered machinery there either. This pirate ship-esque ride is also powered by a steam engine.

Image And a few more pictures of the traction engines.

I have some terrible mobile footage of a travelling organ and the stunt show which i may upload depending on the interest.

Ah, those are all incredibly cool~! I really love the aesthetic of older machinery, it's just super super interesting :) I would like to the travelling organ if you care to!
