36th Annual Malpas Yesteryear Rally - Steam on the Field - 12/09/2009

A few shots of the steam road and agricultural locomotives on view at the 36th Annual Yesteryear Rally which took place at Hampton, Malpas, Cheshire on Saturday 12th September 2009. (I did not attend on the 2nd day.) Some shots are very short to get as many vehicles into the 10 minutes that YouTube allows. The captions are equally short so you will need to pause to read them all or, of course, you can scroll down these notes.

For the first 3:45 the locos are static - after that some are seen moving round the field in readiness for the traditional parade in the ring.
