This is one of a series of pages which I have uploaded to
illustrate facets of steam rallies we have attended in the UK.
Such events occur all over the country in the summer months, they are easily
found by using your favourite search engine and may have anything between a
handful of steam engines and hundreds (as at the Great Dorset Steam Fair
which could probably be fairly described as having an excess of riches). Click
here for the Old Warden index and click here for the overall
2016 index.
There was no room for all the showman's engines at Old Warden
to park up
together, some were running their generators for the fairground. Sadly, I
missed the night time illuminations, I know from experience that my
equipment cannot do justice to the spectacle. The daytime light was
generally dire, I ignored the posed shots in front of the house as the
engines looked very drab. There were just a few bright moments, particularly
late on Friday afternoon when I managed a very few very special photographs.
