Great pictures, Roly. An amazing collection of crain engines.

Nice selection of photos Roly.

Seeing the Challenger 22 photo reminded me I forgot to go back to that section for the tractors :doh: Was trying to find all the Steam engines 1st.

Its almost too big to do in one day as the engines move about a lot more than some shows. By the time I got to the tractors a lot had been put to bed :( .

Heres a few photos from my efforts

Great set of pictures Dave.
I must attend this show another year, it looks there is a lot of interesting machines there !
Roly, I've posted some pics from Casterton under another thread, it was excellent as always. I was surprised how much moisture there was under the surface, the wheels on the trailer ploughs were collecting a lot of buildup of clay.

Thanks John
It was a good day, but needed longer really, as waiting time to get clear (ish) photos of some of the machines eats up the day.

Well worth a visit, as some interesting exhibits I'd not seen at other rallies down that way before. Up north i seem to see the same machines a lot.

Little Castertons was a lot better for photos in that as every thing was spread out (and the sun was out) :) . (apart from the combines were it took ages to get a shot of all 3) :(

Cheers
Dave
