Default "Oldtimerdagen" at Tilligte NL

On the weekend of July 31st/August 1st the 25th "Oldtimerdagen" in Tilligte in the Netherlands held place. Being an one day show up to three years ago it is now held on a weekend.
Oldtimerdagen stands for "Days of Veteran and Vintage Vehicles", as Old-timer has a different meaning on the continent.
This year there have been 250 cars, 170 bikes, 40 stationary engines, 50 original and miniature road steam engines, 480 tractors, 40 lorries and about 30 working diggers and cranes on the program.

Here a selection of mostly steam pics:











There was the single ever produced steam road vehicle by Winschoter Industrie:






And after detail inspection of the full size, one can see a nice collection of miniatures:










Nearly full stainless:





And there was someone who definitely had the longest:










Yes, it's 6" scale! (And radio - controlled) :



Some were prepared for just everything:



Even a steam driven machine for barbed - wire was in action:



And nearly everybody had a lot of fun!
