On this festival there are not only trains. Here are the locomobiles and steam lorries and cars...
You know this guy?
This engine with vertical boiler is sized 1:2 (half size)
Steampowered car
Here's how they were working with steam locomobiles and tractors.

I never cared for European trains of any kind....and still don't.
Steam ,diesel ,electric....old or new....fast or slow.
But I just have to say that those steamed powered trucks...(I know lorries)
are the most magnificent things I have ever seen !!!!
I would love to borrow one of them to take to my clubs annual antique truck show !
Thanks for posting them Martin !!!

There were not only steam powered things to see, but also vintage automobiles....

I spy disc brakes on that steam powered car. They must have been added for safety.
I just finished watching one of my favourite films, The Gold Rush, and log on to see you've posted a picture of a Chaplin impersonator. Funny how that worked out. 
Who could forget this classic scene?
