Belvoir Castle - 19 May 2012

[Steam Scenes]

Rain made an unfortunate return to Belvoir Castle today after several years of good weather previously. I understand it rained all night and this turned the site into a bit of a mud bath and stopped all engine movements. Never-the-less there was much to look at and several engines were making their debut at the event.

A small selection of photographs that I took.

Ruston Hornsby 122282 arrive yesterday after a good journey by road:



Fowler 19356, which has undergone recent restoration and one I have not seen before:




Ransomes Sims & Jefferies 20760 which was recently sold and moved to Leicestershire:




Sentinel 9084 which I have not seen at a rally since Belvoir Castle in 2004:




Aveling & Porter 5163, a first time appearance at the rally:




And a few more:
