First day of the Welland Steam Rally, plenty to see as always, great to meet up with CMN members Martyn Williams, Ian Perrot and Clive Gray

Just a few photos, I will post more and will post some clips too.

Like the 580 and the orange Kraz dump truck lurking in background, most of these really were worked to death.

I'll try and post a shot of the Kraz, I wasn't sure if it was a Belaz or not in the meantime, two more clips, one of a nicely restored JCB 6D and one of CMN member Clive Gray operating the Cat 951B Traxcavator restored by Tony Coates

They were sold here as Belaz 256 but called Kraz in Russia.
So either name will do !

Another clip for you, this is Ben Aubrey's Hy-mac 580C a nice early example here, doing well for a machine that is over 50 years old!

You don't see many preserved Case machines around and not the 580 series.

Questions...
Having watched the videos, is there any control, plan, director of operations' perhaps - or do you just dig where you want?
