Full steam ahead!

Lester and I went to High Wycombe today and on the way home we saw this traction engine coming towards us. There's a steam rally at Prestwood (about 7 miles from where we live) this weekend.
These engines have a top speed of around 5 mph but he's still going to be a bit early! I felt rather sorry for the people behind him; there's nowhere much to overtake on this road. Hopefully he did as he's supposed to and pulled over in the next lay-by to let the traffic pass.

Nice engine, but I'm not sure all those behing him think so! Good capture!

Wonderful picture. Bet you were glad you were going the other way!

Full steam ahead indeed. Maybe he is taking it for its MOT so he can drive it to the steam rally at the weekend.

LOL! This is fantastic - but I'm sure that trail of cars behind it didn't think so!
