Steam Plough Club 'Hands-On' 2018
Steam at Work

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).

We arrived just before the lunch break when the sun was high and shining right along the middle of the field. It was much later before the angle improved, but by the time ploughing activities finished, it was perfectly acceptable as can be seen. Necessarily the participants on the engines on the east side of the field got photographed as they were looking towards the sun while working, note the Meerkat like concentration of the first pair.. 

Pair 1 Fowlers 15182 and 15183

Pair 2 Fowlers 14257 and 15337

Pair 3 Fowlers 15451 and 15452 and the mole drainer
