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>

Steve,

Nice shot with pensive expression but I would blank out the Cat(erpillar) logo and PS in Aveling & Porter, or Burrell. :D

 

What about an NW boys visit to the big Traction do at Chelford in August? Lots of odd characters there. ;)

11/12 August at Astle Park Chelford (between Knutsford and Macclesfield), and I'll be in Ireland :o

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. :eek:

 

Yes, that Burrell, not Paul Burrell, who was a different sort of old steamer, allegedly.
