Saffron Walden, Crank Up (27th - 28th April, 2024)
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 overall index for 2024.
I'm again pleased to present Paul Gilbey's pictures of this small event which last year moved to a new location, Carver Barracks, which is an old air field. There was a similar number of entries as last year. more than half were not returnees which, from a distance, seems about right to me.
