GuestQ: In the UK we have a thriving community of Traction Engine restorers and enthusiasts - see this Steam Engine magazine. Tractors over here are in a different group of agricultural machinery.

The National Traction Engine Trust is another good site. Stationary engines, Portable engines and Beam engines are also discovered rotting all over the world and lovingly brought back to their former glory.

Between Spring & Autumn the UK countryside is littered with Country Fairs and Steam Rallies, IMO the biggest rally we have is this one. It's huge!

It's amazing how many 'anoraks' are around..... it's not just Trainspotters! Ooops, guess I've just given away one of my secret hobbies...
