Lovely set of photos again David, for me the favoright has to be the Fowler ploughing engine turning in the road, an unstaged scene that could have been 100 years ago, although it could perhaps be a later engine than it would have been then, I know you do a lovely line in oil painting conversions, wonky 4 storey houses are 1 thing but even I dont think wonky wheel spokes are going to look right, better not give them too much of a laugh.any way we have Howard White from Owelsbury,Hants not so far away from me that does some lovely paintings mostly Showmans, my dad and uncles bought a Wallis engine from his Grandfather in 1929, and I still have the original buff log book for it engine number 7114.new on 14/6/1910 still in steam in 1952, nice that his family worked with tractions for many years and he still has an interest in them. kind regards Jimmy Vardy.
