2010 event[]

The 2010 event could be the last "Masham Steam Engine and Fair Organ Rally" as the organisers have been told that the 2010 event is to be the last time that the current site can be used. So the search is on for a new site for 2011, for this historic rally which has been held for over 40 years on the "Low Burton" Field site.[1]

Summary[]

The 2010 event was blessed with good weather over the weekend with just a few light showers, It was a little blustery at times. A Good event was possible this year with a number of the engines going on the road run up into the town on the Saturday night with a good number of passengers in trailers. A Classic bus service was also laid on up to the town

Morris Commercial bus

A selection of commercial vehicle from the 1920s through to the 1980s with Fire engines and Landrover displays, but appeared a bit thin on Saturday compared to 2009.

Cars[]

A small display of classic cars was also present. For some reason crammed into only half the area with little space between the two rows and one row jammed tight up to a temporary fence, making it arquid for visitors to view them and increasing the risk of them being scratched as people squeeze past each over with bags and buggies etc. to view the second row

Stationary engines[]

A selection of stationary engines were working with a variety of different display set ups to show how they originally provided power before electric motors took over.

Working displays & Tent displays[]

  • portable saw mill operated by ? a Fowler Traction engine.
  • A ? Stone Crusher operated by Supremacy a Fowler Traction engine.
  • Dry stone walling demonstration & display of wall types with miniature wall models.
  • Dairy machinery display tent
  • Models with some fine Meccano models of machinery, some of which work, ans a number of scratch built steam engine models made with a Unimat lath from scrap metal.

2009 event[]

Summary[]

The 2009 event was disrupted by heavy rain leading up to the event leaving ground conditions poor, which lead to some engines been cancelling and a lower than expected turn out in some other classes. But the weather brightened up over the weekend with a few showers, so a decent event was possible with a number of the engines being displayed in the Station yard opposite the site on hard standing.
