The Strumpshaw Steam Rally, in its 26th year, on the Strumpshaw Hall, continues today until 5pm and tomorrow from 9am-5pm.
Among the many vintage tractors and agricultural engines on show are seven vehicles used home and away during the First World War.
A rally parade in the grand ring featured the wartime vehicles to mark the centenary of the end of the Great War in 1918.
Mike Curtis, rally organiser, said: 'We wanted to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the war and realised that many of our exhibits played a central role both over in France and back in the UK. If only they could speak, they would have some stories to tell.'

One of the wartime engines included in the rally is a Garrett steam tractor built in 1917, ordered by the War Department and sent over to France to haul guns, ammunition and supplies.
The Strumpshaw Hall Steam Museum's own star attraction, Princess Royal, will also join the celebrations to mark her 100th birthday.
More than 500 exhibits will be on show at the rally, including 50 steam engines, road rollers and wagons.
New attractions for this year include a display by the Norfolk and Suffolk Tractor Pullers and performances on the Sunday by the Lowestoft Signing Choir.
