stunsworth Posted May 28, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Taken in Chipping near Preston this afternoon. There was a steam rally and this gentleman was there with his traction engine. The haze in the background was caused by the smoke and steam of the engines. I'd almost forgotten what burning coal smells like <grin> M8, 35mm ASPH Summicron [ATTACH]39444[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Hi stunsworth, Take a look here Traction engine driver. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
elansprint72 Posted May 28, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2007 Steve, Nice shot with pensive expression but I would blank out the Cat(erpillar) logo and PS in Aveling & Porter, or Burrell. What about an NW boys visit to the big Traction do at Chelford in August? Lots of odd characters there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted May 28, 2007 Share #5 Posted May 28, 2007 11/12 August at Astle Park Chelford (between Knutsford and Macclesfield), and I'll be in Ireland There is also big one: The Cheshire Steam Fair at Tabley House Cheshire Steam Fair on 14/15th July, the Saturday being Bastille day, which gives Steve an excuse to dress up in striped jersey and wear onions. Yes, that Burrell, not Paul Burrell, who was a different sort of old steamer, allegedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
