With just a few days to go the organisers of Woolpit Steam are making the final preparations to what should be a bumper event.
With new exhibits to see in every section and a large display of Ransomes equipment dating back to 1850 this is a show not to be missed.
Firm favorites remain, including the pre 1930 tractors which will see fresh exhibits and the return of others not seen out for several years.
The wood sawing display which will include the rack saw bench cutting tree trunks, the smaller saws and benches cutting fire wood and a new display this year of a kindling cutter being driven by a Ransomes portable steam engine.
Another popular feature is the earth moving area which will see the return of the 1928 petrol Caterpillar 60 and towed scraper box which will be complemented by a 1952 Caterpillar DW20 self propelled motor scraper.
The Bamford display will demonstrate how one engine would have been used to power a range of machinery on the farm for the production of animal feed while many of the other engines on show will be driving equipment including pumps, mills and dynamos.
For the bargain hunters looking for a gift or that elusive spare part there are nearly 50 craft, trade and auto jumble stalls to tempt you. There is also hot and cold food, licensed bar and ice creams.
Mike Rule will be providing his ever popular Steam Gallopers and big wheel. These will be supported by side stalls, Punch & Judy and a full ring programme on both days to keep the family entertained.
