A HOST of horses went on display near York today, but there wasn't a hoof or mane in sight.
The York Road and Rail exhibition at The Yorkshire Museum of Farming, at Murton Park, features a display of mechanical horses - small vehicles which were used for transporting goods, mainly in the rail and post industries.
The event, organised by the Mechanical Horse Club in association with the National Railway Museum, The Yorkshire Museum of Farming and Derwent Valley Light Railway, also features displays and demonstrations of vintage cars and commercials, steam train rides, military vehicles, transport models, children's rides, and illustrated talks by author Bill Aldridge.
The event continues tomorrow. Admission is £3.50.
