On the last weekend of October, the Chiltern Traction Engine Club hold their end of year rally in Buckinghamshire. They do a 'road run' from Chorleywood to the Red Lion in Chenies for lunch and then head back to yard where the engines are stored for the winter months in Little Chalfont.

There were also road rollers and steam powered trucks in attendance as well as traction engines. They're all immaculate except the few trucks that are clearly works in progress!

Apparently I was seen staggering around aiming my camera at anything that moved, that's the last time I drink at lunchtime again. ;)

These are quite remarkable. Thanks for sharing them. Lunchtime sounds like a perfectly good time for a drink. Breakfast is a little early though. :-)


Bless the recently fallen and their family and friends.
I have a Cannon with me at all times. You can't take the shot if you don't have something with which to shoot. :rolleyes:

Excellent shots! Much bigger then they need to be though, & I'm wondering why you feel the need to post shots as large as .5MB?
Look at some of Kennys work. They average under 100KB.

Wow, the winch on #10 is huge. In fact the whole front end look like an add-on.
Thanks for post something a little different.

no worries

I've never seen anything like this before so for me it made a big difference too.
