Description |
Scenes from a steam traction engine rally in Cheshire. People wander around looking at everything there is to see. We see a variety of steam traction engines, we see them being driven, on display, and in use in different capacities such as threshing. There are other historic vehicles on display including vintage cars, motorbikes and a penny farthing. We also see mechanical organs, including the Marenghi Mechanical Organ and the Aeolian Orchestrelle Organ. There are model traction engines on display, and a miniature one giving rides to the people at the rally. |
