Pickering Steam rally

Pickering Steam rally

While on holiday in Yorkshire we visited The Pickering Steam Rally which is held the first weekend of August, it is the biggest steam event in the North so I’m told.

On the Saturday evening many of the steam engines and other vehicles drive into Pickering town centre. The roads are packed with all manner of things from large showman's engines to small motorbikes. It’s a great atmosphere and the streets are crowded with people. After a few hours the vehicles depart and the town returns to normal.

The engine in this photo is a Burrell Showman’s engine ”Earl Kitchener”.

Resting woof!

Resting woof!

The dog is having a rest on the back of his traction engine, he looks very comfortable.

The workings of a Portable

The workings of a Portable

This is a view which you don’t see to often. With a portable all the workings are there to be seen, from the fire hole door (centre), to the water gauge(the brass and glass item at the top right) , the pressure gauge (at the top centre) and the regulator.
