I did make a comment to somebody at the weekend for such a big rally I didn't see many miniatures, they must have all been hiding.

Good to see she is being looked after and is obviously in good hands
See she now sports brass hub caps in replacement of the steel ones I made and fitted
Still looking In fine fettle
She got her name from my daughter aged about six then
On hearing her run for the first time she commented " what a lovely little chuff"refering to the noise from the chimney
.
The name stuck an she was always known as Little Chuff from then on
Had her for about seven years and really enjoyed it
She helped raise over three thousand pounds in that time giving children's rides most weekends during the summer and was in demand for Santa specials at Christmas
During my ownership she was rettubed and repainted and lined out
Hope you enjoy your time with her as much as I did
Cheers martin
