Llanelli & District Model Engineers 17th Annual Rally 2024

Captured on my mobile phone, this video shows the variety of miniature steam locomotives and traction engines attending this year's Miniature Steam Rally held at Pembrey Country Park in Carmarthenshire West Wales on the 28th of September 2024.

Thanks Dave, it's always a pleasure to attend, this is my 17th year of going there.

Thank you for posting Bob, I was unable to make it this year, and it's such a good rally, so it was great to be able to watch it from your video.

My pleasure Mark, it was wonderful to see so many attending on Saturday, the stormy weather today would have put many off. Thanks for watching....Bob

@@robmasterman No, thank you Bob. A wonderful line up, I particularly liked the Merchant Navy, the Narrow Gauge Hunslets and Dolgoch, and I couldn’t get over the size/scale of the traction engines. The steam up area was very interesting, sadly not open to the public, so great for you to capture. Take care, Mark.

Thanks both, it's so frustrating that after covering this event for 17 years, that I'm now limited to what I can do....Best wishes....Bob

Always a good event Bob, wonderful locos built to very high standards

Thanks Austin, I've been covering this event for about seventeen years, so still a joy, despite mobility issues.

[@acw71000]

I know Bob, the videos were always something to look forward to each year. Sorry to hear about your mobility issues, it must be very frustrating

[@robertmasterman3364]

@acw71000 it certainly is Austin, but I've enjoyed over 60 years, so mustn't complain.

How amazing that those model toy trains can withhold people's weights !! 😍 Are those people actually the makers of the trains riding on their own creations !?

[@robmasterman]

They are working replicas of the real thing, and are surprisingly heavy and powerful. Most of them are built from scratch, and take several years to complete.
