Here's a proper traction engine, unlike yesterdays miniature paraffin fuelled engine, can you smell the coal smoke ?

A fine capture of this old steam tractor, Phil. Cough! Cough! Smell the smoke?? Hell I can't see where i'm going for the smoke. I like the little one from yesterday. That would be a fun way to cut the lawn. Nice work, Saved

The ghost of Fred Dibnah lives on! These engines are mighty beasts, need a lot of looking after but are so well worth it. Good shot.

Cough, cough, sputter, sputter! I sure can smell the smoke, Phil. I can taste it too. I love this old train though. What a wonderful, clear shot of it and nicely cropped too. I think I'd like to attend the cheese tasting booth in the background too.

The only thing out of place in this one, is the modern clothing the people are wearing. A great clear capture. Well done.

It is nice to see the little steam engine all grown up Phlossie. Another great shot of a time gone by. I went for years to this reunion. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the memories.

Hi Phil, this must have been leading technology back when it was first out on the fields. An interesting piece of machinery, would want to wear some goggles though. The coal smoke must have been a real treat, thanks for sharing good shot. Lance
