Monstrous perhaps but for those who love old steam engines this is a thrilling sight. Nice capture of this prehistoric workhorse Lyn.

That's right, Lyn. Hope however that you got not injured by that impressive monster. Great image however.

Regards, Cornelius.

A tremendous close-up of these lumbering monsters Lyn. We've been to several traction engine rallies in the past and they never fail to please.
