Welland Steam and Country Rally 2014
Here's a small selection of the full size engine featured at this years Welland Steam and Country Rally.
There was a great selection of engines on display including a few that are new to me. My personal thanks go to both the exhibitors and organisers for putting on yet another great show For me this engine was one of the stars of the show, 1904 Fowler A4 "The Maid of Cefn Yddfa" There was also Garrett No 36461, Boolavogu which was the last ever Garrett to be built Here's a selection of some more engines in attendance which by no means should be a comprehensive guide. And finally the Ross-on-Wyes steam engine society own 'Smith of Rodley' steam crane which looks great when in action As per normal there's another couple of hundred photos taken at this years event and there featured on my site here. I do hope you enjoy taking a look at my photos and any feedback will be more than appreciated If anyone would like a copy of an original image featured on my site that doesn't have the watermark please send me a PM and I'll be more than happy to oblige. |
enjoyed our day down in Worcestershire, a fine line up of engines and red hot weather.
Chris. |
what on earth is that nonsense around the flywheel on 'Tiler'?
|
Special thanks due I think to everyone who put on such a great show in that heat (Saturday). Family and I enjoyed our visit as always. Roll on the next 50 years!

I was going to comment that the crew on the Foden didn't look the most confident!!
I can see the cab stay looking a very funny shape should they use the brake in anger. |

First visit for me this year and what a cracking show .
Quite a few engines I came across I have not seen before which is what it's all about . The working areas are interesting especially the steam crane working in the woodcutting area . Great steam parade in a good size arena which like Elvaston is circular in shape allowing for a better viewing experience for the public thumbsup It's a pity that there were no showmans engines parading on Saturday given the examples that could be found near the fairground . Well organised event that I will be returning to . Dave |
Had a great weekend with great company massive thanks to everyone involved and look forward to seeing you next year👍

A few of my favourite pics from the show, spent more time playing than photographing but had a brilliant time! We had 'End2End' on the tractor pull, carpet surfing, on the dyno test and trundling round all weekend! Looked like it had been to Dorset by the time it had arrived home ;)

Well, looks like i will have to get up there next year! Not been before.
|
I'm thinking the same Jim.
I have been looking for a big rally to travel to with the 6" rather than the Tasker since we stopped going to another about 3 years ago. I think this looks like it could suit perfectly. I'll make enquiries! |
Actually looks like a 'proper' steam event like times gone by.
Count me in for next year, looks like a cracking show. Well done to all those nameless people who made it happen. Nick |
Thats the first time I've seen A&P 10545 since it left us in '97 I think. Looks almost exactly the same. Good to see it out and about!

Her is a photo of my Ruston along side an exhibitors 6" version at Welland. Amazing how scale works. One does not look twice as large as the other!

Nice to see it illustrated with a photo though Colin. Your engine is real credit to you. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. |
Seems to have been plenty of contributions to this Welland thread so I haven't added any not that I didn't take any, and had a good time.
