That looks like the engine that was in the back of Colin Gilbert's workshop when I worked for him, just wondered if it was?
Also can anyone tell me if he is still around, and if he is say hello to him from Clive Hiscock.
Thanks

I think you will find the Blackstone engine came from nearby Childwickbury estate, where it was used for pumping water.

We caught a traction engine up between St Albans and Fensomes yard on Monday.

This was David Philpot's Clayton & Shuttleworth No. 48154. We had just entered Redbourn village when we heard a whistle behind us and looking back we saw the Foster going round the roundabout onto the Redbourn bypass.
