Needs some twisted brass and a nice big washing machine dropping on the front ;)

I always thought a Fowler plate was on the near side of the boiler lagging. (As our two Fowlers are). I did have a look there myself and saw the four holes which looked like it had been taken off or was there at some time. I didn't see anything on the tender or horn plates, but I didn't get up there (just looked over). Maybe this is bit of a wind up me thinks., who knows. Anyone got a real photo of whatever number was present, if any ??.

I was told that it worked in a factory in Italy rolling pasta by another well respected expert !

The Pasta Roller had grooved rolls !!

If it really from Italy it will have a high speed reverse.

Well done Richard with your 10 year meticulous rebuild of this fabulous engine and good to catch up with our old living van as well.
How did they get on? I love all this, the travelling between rallys is the best bit. ( if you plan well)

Judging by Matts photos on Facebook they arrived safely.

Thankfully no real problems at all. We took Crickley hill (A417/dual carriageway) in 2nd and steadily went all the way up without stopping. We were even notched right back on the reversing lever! Had to stop at the small services a mile or so past Nettleton to fill up with water, then non stop until South Cerney. A good day's run and we were all very pleased with how the day went. Traffic never seemed a problem we always had a clear road in front of us ;)
Cheers,
Richard.
