Hi, a big thank you to Ann, Ian, Dave and all your helpers for a great rally - excellent in every way, even the ground played its part by making every engine bark ! Looking forward to next years

Cheers

no the rivets for the tubeplate are just behind the smokebox, i added 8 inches to the barrel to make room for fitting a low presure cylinder at a later date. *secret

Looking back in a previous thread this is a different Aveling (No. 8796) belonging to ShottendenAveling and not No. 8632 as noted above by Museum Driver. Apologies for that.
