IT was full steam ahead this weekend for the biggest-ever Pickering Traction Engine Rally. The event, which finished yesterday, had been extended to a four-day format for the first time.
The local showfield off the A169 resonated to the sound of vintage engines from Thursday onwards, as the event that was already known as Pickering's Big Day grew even bigger.
Its organiser, Simon Boak, said there were nearly 1,000 cars, commercials and motorcycles and over 180 tractors there, and it was the biggest steam fair yet seen at Pickering.
"The event this year, was much, much bigger than any previous event," he said.
The firework display on Saturday night was also a big success.
