Restoring and maintaining a century-old steam traction engine, antique road roller or showman’s road locomotive is a greasy and grimy affair. Proud owners and helpers therefore wear practical clothing as they drive their prized veteran and vintage vehicles into display arenas at events such as the Woodcote Steam & Vintage Transport Rally at Woodcote, Oxfordshire, England, UK. This two-man crew are driving the part-restored general purpose agricultural traction engine 72808 'Britannia', built in 1920 at the Marshall Sons & Co Britannia Iron Works at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.
Woodcote, Oxfordshire, England, UK: maintaining a century-old steam traction engine, antique road roller or showman’s road locomotive in top mechanical and cosmetic condition can be a greasy and grimy business. Proud owners and helpers therefore wear practical clothing as they drive their prized veteran and vintage vehicles into arenas or parade grounds at annual events like the Great Dorset Steam Fair and here, at the 50th Anniversary Woodcote Steam & Vintage Transport Rally in July 2013. This two-man crew are driving the part-restored general purpose agricultural traction engine 72808 'Britannia', built in 1920 at the Marshall Sons & Co Britannia Iron Works at Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.
