Visitors flocked to a display of vintage steam engines in Burnham-On-Sea over the weekend.
Sedgemoor Vintage Club displayed a number of colourful engines outside Western Steam Model Engineers in Love Lane to give residents a small taster of its upcoming summer festival.
Sedgemoor Vintage Club’s annual festival will take place on July 12th and 13th at Rooksbridge House stock car racing ground, near Burnham, when hundreds of vintage steam attractions will be on display.
“We’ve had a steady flow of visitors to this special display, and people have shown a great deal of interest in the items on display,” said Peter Brakes, Chairman of Sedgemoor Vintage Club.
He added that among the attractions at this week’s event was a 3 inch Orchin engine and a stationery 1927 Bamford petrol engine.
The event was supported by Western Steam Model Engineers, which makes equipment for the club’s members and businesses.
