Today we went to the "Artisan Fair & Steam Event" #Papplewick #PumpingStation in #Ravenshead near #Nottingham (https://papplewickpumpingstation.org.uk/).
They were running the steam engine, there were 3 traction engines (various scales!), and you could have a tour round the brick-lined, vaulted-ceiling water storage structure, which sadly stopped being used in 1906 when a crack was found in one of the walls.

The #London to #Brighton Veteran Car Run goes through #Crawley where they have a pit-stop. Lovely day this year. Really fun to watch the very old cars putt putt their way through town.

Union Pacific brought its Big Boy Steamer through an #Omaha suburb and we happened to be in the area. Old machines are cool.
