Missed the show this year, but caught a glimpse of one of all time favourites…the John Deere 5020 with twin stacks powered by the Detroit. My favourite sound along with the Field Marshall mk2
We go most years. The Estate is a few fields over from my home farm. I used to walk across the fields as a child way back when the Gymkhana was held at Onslow way before the Steam Rally moved here. On Years i did not go the distant sounds were always a joy echoing over the fields. The field Marshall was a familiar sound through the year as one is owned by the estate and it would be run periodically during the year. The echo of steam whistles & faint sound of the chuff chuff of the steam engines powering up to move. Yes the 5020 is a fair beast & he goes every year. Onslow will hopefully get even more busy now some of the Shows have now ended like the GDSM Great Dorset Steam Fair.
