A Real Steam Roller - well a traction engine anyway

Another shot from the 2016 Hunter Valley Steamfest, Maitland, NSW, Australia. This steam powered traction engine almost ran over us while standing on the road bridge above the train station.

I love all things steam powered so maybe it's fate that I found and embraced Steemit.

I also like old technology, especially steam power. There is a museum I may visit later today in Willmar, MN that has some old steam tractors, or did 10 years ago when I was here last at any rate.

Cool. I've followed you. Hope you post some pictures

i love black and white

Me too. You lose the colour but gain all the shadow and mood.

good to see they keep the old things rolling

The annual festival attaches Steam fans from all over the world. Steam trains are the main attraction but a huge range of steam powered vehicles and machine also.

we have old steam mill near by that we used to keep the land dry here in Hollland

That is cool. I love how the steam motion can drive more than one device or machine. I can't read Dutch but I loved the video.

i tried to find an english website but they seem to busy with steam and not with translations :) but google might help a bit https://translate.google.nl/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=http://www.de-tuut.nl/&prev=search

Thanks. My Wifes father was born in Hilversum but he has lived in Australia for over 50 years so maybe his Dutch is not so good either.
