One of my favorite video's, a lot of eye candy
« on: March 30, 2020, 08:03:21 am »
Seeing that a lot of shows are on hold or cancelled all together, I thought I would bring up a video I found on YouTube that might appeal to
some of the you members so kick back and enjoy a Miniature Steam Rally.

I didn't shoot this but I wish I could've lived it.

WOW, that is an incredible line up of steam traction, both miniature and full size!  The advantage in England are the short travel distances to a meet like this.  I don't know of anything similar that happens in the US.  I'd say most of  steam traction in the US focuses on the full size engines at local threshing shows, (which are quite numerous).

Many thanks for posting.

Yes, it's very exciting to come across a 1/4 scale here and there at shows... Rollag, MN is probably the closest I have been to something like this, quite a few engines at their Miniatureland.
