There were traction engines and steam lorries galore at the SVR site in Kidderminster over the weekend for the 'Steam on the Road' event.

There were 10 traction engines on display while a converted Land Rover travelled on the railway tracks.

The vehicle, affectionately known as 'Plimsoll', travelled 32 miles up and down the line on Saturday.

There was also a beer festival at the event, with steam and diesel trains running all day.
