Here are some pictures I took Aug 17th .

This is when I first got off the shuttle , overlooking fleamarket with the construction equipment in the rear.This is just a small sample of whats there.

This is member earthgrinders , he also had a cool cut-away engine that I should have taken a picture of

This horse is on a treadmill running some kind of machine.

That steam drag line reminds me of the one that was used to dig gravel out of the gravel pits about 65 years ago.

 

The machine that horse is powering looks like an old small square baler.

 

Enjoyed the photos.  Thanks for posting.

[MiCarl]

Lots of interesting machines.  I enjoyed the pictures.

 

Thanks!

Nice to see odder items at shows. Get to boring at times seeing the same ol stuff at each one. This one had some real diff items. Grounds must also be museum then too, lots of neat displays in buildings. That Big Avery had quite the steering set-up on it. No chains like others had, lots of gears and a follower to the front axle. That first pix with rusty forward engined rig, has the neatest steering and coulumn I have ever seen on this type tractor. I can't read the brand on that hood. Somehow that column must move over and at same time turn on the center pivot, quite ingenious.  I love that S-32 Speedex, I want one of those. I'm not familiar with that one, must be not many made?? I'm wondering if the Tech engine is orig, but even so, looks like great rig of good size. Love those flat fenders with the lights in them. That Silver KIng with the red hood is a model I don't believe I have seen before. A later one?

Yes there's many buildings for models , autos , 2 for stationary steam engines and in some of the building there's shelves with smaller equipment along the eves .
