Welham Diesel’s passion for diesel engineering and heritage machinery goes far beyond the workshop. The company is proud to support and sponsor the Classic Trucks & Tractors event, a fantastic celebration of the machines that helped shape Britain’s farming, transport, and engineering history.
Celebrating Vintage Power
The Classic Trucks & Tractors took place on 28 February – 1 March 2026 at the Royal Highland Centre, next door to Edinburgh Airport, bringing together enthusiasts, collectors, and families for a weekend dedicated to vintage machinery.
From beautifully restored agricultural tractors to iconic classic lorries, the show celebrated the engineering that once kept Britain moving. Visitors were able to explore a wide variety of historic vehicles, browse trade stands and autojumble stalls, and meet fellow enthusiasts who share a passion for mechanical heritage.
A Showcase of Classic Machinery
The event featured hundreds of classic vehicles across indoor halls and outdoor displays. Attendees enjoyed:
- Vintage tractor exhibitions covering decades of farming history
- Classic and restored commercial trucks
- Stationary engines and agricultural machinery
- Specialist trade stands offering parts, tools, and memorabilia
- Family entertainment, food stalls, and demonstrations
For collectors and restorers, it was also a fantastic opportunity to discover rare parts, exchange knowledge, and connect with others in the vintage vehicle community.
Welham Diesel’s Role
As a specialist in diesel injection systems and engine services, Welham Diesel is deeply connected to the world of classic machinery. Many vintage tractors and trucks rely on precision diesel fuel systems to operate reliably, and maintaining these components is essential for keeping historic engines running smoothly.

Events like this help ensure that the stories and machines from Britain’s agricultural and transport history continue to be appreciated by future generations.
