47th Welland Steam Rally
The 47th Welland Steam Rally was held on the 29th to 31st of July, as usual the Nuffield and Leyland Tractor Club Stand was in attendance. The organisers of the Rally reported record breaking attendance over all three days. Fortunately the weather was good with plenty of sunshine.
Many Nuffields, Leylands and Marshall tractors were on display with others working in the demonstration field and transporting water to all the many steam engines.
General view of the club stand
Nuffield 3/45 with water bowser continuously feeding the thirsty steam engines which, when powering the generators, require many hundreds of gallons of water every hour.
This Leyland 285 still sounds as good as the day it was first worked!
This 4/65 has been modified by fitting a Perkins 6 cylinder engine, it is in excellent condition and fully capable of a full days work!
