Description
We return to the 2017 Steam Fair as steam roller 'Hilda' (Marshall, 1937) comes squelching by. The public are more concerned with negotiating the mud and stopping their willies being dragged off their feet....... Oops I meant wellies having looked again much later. Perhaps I need an eye test.Related content

Nice to see the engines being put to work on things you wouldn't really expect them to do. After all, I expect the next steam show in Stithians will be similar weather from what I have heard.

Oh! Is this one of the ones that could be converted into a traction engine? Or was it just made by the same builder?

I think probably the same builder, not sure.

Ah, I think Burrell or Fowler made them.

Looks like an event I would have stopped at with my 'gypsy market' (in the old days). A rendezvous perhaps?

Those can be a lot of fun! A great capture, my Friend.
