This week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge is Wheel.
I have already posted a contribution to the challenge but decided to post a second.
This is part of the rear wheel of a steam traction engine.
The new Tuesday Photo Challenge is Technology.
I had a few ideas for the challenge and went with some old technology still in use today at steam fairs and rallies.

This week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is Toys.
I had a few ideas for the challenge before thinking of my photos from a steam fair in Cheshire, England in the 1980s. Taken early one morning, the exhibitors were either lighting the fireboxes of their machines or were giving them a final polish. There’s four people polishing various parts of this steam roller.
Big boys and their big toys.
Throwback Thursday travels back to Cheshire, England in the 1980s. I visited the Crewe Steam Fair early on Sunday morning before there was many people about. The exhibitors with machinery were busy firing up the boilers or giving the brass work a final polish.
This traction engine has just had the firebox lit judging by the smoke coming out of the smokestack.
