Old Warden Steam Rally 2013
Fire Engine, Fairground Centre Engine, Portable Engines and a Steam Car

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 index.

There was what appears to be a fair selection of  miscellaneous engines worthy of a good look, by and large this is an area these rallies 'could do better'. The Shand Mason fire engine is, of course, a gem as although there are a fair number in preservation (click the link below), this is in full working order and was pumping water for the road engines. It could fairly be described as a 'working engine'.
