Good show again this year, the venue though was very poor hopefully the show will be back at Toddington next year.

I usually end up with one of the engines for a day at Tewkesbury. Drive it down to the pub and get lunch on it aswell Laughing

For those of you who are interested the bloke with all the modified Mamods is the person who used to make the living vans Forest Classics sell. Forest Classics make them thereselves now Wink

A rotavator would be much quicker, but not half as much fun Laughing

Black Country Steamers am I right Harry?

I'm realy looking forward to him getting his Fowler Clip Drum/Slanting Shaft ploughing engine done. He will have to teach me how to operate it as it's a bit harder than a double engined system.

Will Murphy be at the MSRVS show?
