A steamy weekend

(1/3) > >>

Scuba1:
I went to the steam rally at Old Warden in Bedfordshire last weekend and it was a by far the the most engines that I have ever seen in one place. I have taken near 200 photos of the large stuff and the many models that were chugging around the place. The air was filled with smoke and coal ash was at times coming down like little snow flakes. Even the music there war made by steam powered old fair ground organs. I even got a few tools for my lathe at some of the stalls selling things there. I still have to sort out a load of pictures, but here is a little teaser for you for now and i'll stick some more in this thread when i have a bit of time.

















Camera used was a Nikon D300 with a 18 to 70mm lens and a Nissin 866 MK2 flash

We'd have that much too if hadn't been for the scrap drive during WWII. At least some of it escaped the scrappers torch.
