Strumpshaw Steam Rally
Runtime approx. 64 minutes - with commentary
We see steam engines of all types and sizes being prepared at the start of the three day rally. There are over 50 full size steam engines ranging from traction engines, road locomotives, road rollers, showman's engines to steam powered wagons and cars at the rally. Many of these giant engines are around 100 years old and have been lovingly restored to their original glory. We watch these colourful engines make their way graciously to the main arena where we join visitors inspecting the engines close up.
Over 50 model steam engines can also be seen plus a range of gipsy, showman's and living vans. Stanley steam powered cars plus Sentinel and Foden steam wagons are on parade and are joined by a large collection of over 100 vintage cars and motor cycles. The majestic showman's engines are seen at work powering old style funfair attractions and organs. A 1913 Marshall traction engine is seen powering a rack saw bench. more info and video clips .....
