A Steamy Weekend in Dordrecht

Dordt in Stoom is a massive steam festival held in Dordrecht, near Rotterdam, every two years. Because the weather was horrible this year, this video mixes footage from 2022 and 2024. Highlights include the boat parade, steam trains, and lots of steam-powererd vehicles and machinery.

Looks like great fun! Lisa and I have experienced something similar (without the boats) at The Great Oregon Steam-Up in Brooks, Oregon: lots of stream traction, a steam sawmill, a steam grain mill (used to mill grain grown in an adjacent field), but also a steam rail crane, and electric trolleys running around property, and a variety of small distillate engines. The location in Brooks (Powerland) contains lots of different museums, like a fire truck engine museum, a Whyte truck museum, a Harley-Davidson museum, and a Caterpillar museum, one of which is steam powered. Not that you're likely to be in Oregon in early August, but it is great fun. Lisa used to be a volunteer at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum that is one of the many museums on site at Powerland.

Clearly needs to go on the bucket list! I noticed yesterday that the Summerlee Industrial Museum near Glasgow is having a steam weekend the same weekend as the Worldcon, and am investigating public transport options to get there (and hoping my two "real steampunk" programme items don't clash).

I'm sure if you'd not been holding the camera you'd have been doing the same dance at 16:34

Me? Dance? Before the pubs have opened?
