Hollycombe Steam Rally 2024
Portable Engines

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 Hollycombe Steam Rally 2024 index and click here for the overall index for 2024.

The event was repeated in 2025, click here for pictures of the portable engines present on that occasion. 

A major effort had been made to attract a significant number of visiting engines. The lack of links in the right hand column indicates that most were engines which I had not seen at events I had attended - the Hollycombe 2023 links are to Paul Gilbey's pictures!
