In 2016 a 1914 built Aveling & Porter agricultural traction engine set off across North Wales over 3 days to attend the Anglesey steam rally.

    Its like watching dibnahs old shows, brilliant
  • Superb cinematography. Even if you don't have an interest in steam, this short film will, at least, make you see Wales in a different light!
  • I was involved with these as a young man in Australia about 55 years ago, now heading into retirement I'm getting the bug back again. Than you for a wonderful journey
  • Well, that was a sight for sore eyes! I was born in Llangollen, was brought up in Glyndyfrdwy and the building behind you in the car park at Corwen is the Health Centre where my now deceased mother was the Practice Manager for many years. There used to be a traction engine or two (perhaps even three) on our farm, although they had long gone before I was born. What did remain however were the implements such as a belt driven sawing table, two threshing machines and few more which I believe were used with the traction engine(s). I now live in Futtsu-city, Japan and have been in Japan for the past 31 years and haven't been back to Wales for nigh on 10 years.

    I recall Fred Dibnah had a trailer very like yours. Lovely to see this example of steam engineering in action.
  • Very cool to see the steam engine running down the street ๐Ÿ˜€ The tires are definitely more street friendly then the ones Iโ€™ve seen.
  • Absolutely brilliant, thanks for sharing. Special kudos to a camera person๐Ÿ‘
