The Fawley Hill Estate is set in the rolling hills of Fawley, Buckinghamshire and is home to the Fawley Hill Railway which is the steepest standard gauge railway track in the world. Set up by the late Sir William McAlpine the Estate houses one of the most impressive collections of railway memrobobia. Lady Judith McAlpine has kept the legacy of Sir Robert McAlpine going by keeping the collection and hiring out the railway for private events but Lady Judy is also very passionate about preserving Britain's Engineering Heritage for future generations to show them how things were back in the day and to keep machines from Traction Engines and Steam Rollers to Milltary Tanks and Historic Vehicles in working order instead of putting them in a museum where the skills to uses these types of vehicles will be lost over a few generations.
Fawley Hill Steam & Vintage Transport Festival 2024 might be the last show of its type being open to the public on the Fawley Hill Estate so there was a good turnout of vehicles of all different types. Well over 20 full size Traction Engines. Steam Rollers and Steam Wagons with plenty of Miniatures as well. A good selection of Vintage Tractors, Historic Commercial Vehicles and Public Services Vehicles. Military vehicles were also featured as well as a Tank.
A Big thanks to the host of the event Lady Judith McAlpine for opening up Fawley Hill to the public another big thanks to all of the organisers and staff for putting on such a great show in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
