In the interest of accuracy, a subject close to my heart, and of course respect, I would point out that his name is Michael List Brain, no hyphen. At least if there is a hyphen, I imagine he would use it in emails to people such as myself!

David and I travelled down to Preston Services on Sunday. It has become a highlight of the Christmas holidaysmeeting so many like minded people in such a great enviroment. Michael has a superb collection of all things steam and it is a pleasure on his open days to be allowed to look around and explore.

his oast house with his stationary engines, this year was extremely interesting as it was out of the cold, bitter wind.

i'd have to go with that statement, as it made me smile, no more no less, hence a thanks was duly given.

I agree it was a great day out. Lovely setting, loads of interest, some engines in steam to huddle up too and a chance to catch up with friends I hadn't seen for years! I could quite easily give one of the little Ransomes portables a home, and it was great to see the Fowler again :D

Adam, did you give the Wallis roller a good look-see? I thought it was rather lovely!

Not seen the Paxman before, where did that come from ?

Really spooky! I only recentley came across this forum. When I introduced myself I mentioned this engines sister Paxman KE 2701. I would love to know where she is now. I was aware of her stable mate KE 2700 but these are the first pictures I have seen. Fantastic takes me back a long way. Hopefully some of you guys could fill me in on some history
Cheers
Grahame

I'm amazed to see the little Wallis Oil Bath 'The Viper' still there. I went up to buy that two years ago and then changed my mind at the last minute and bought Iron Ada instead! I thought it would have gone by now.
