I absolutely love the sign-writing on the motion cover of the Aveling roller. If the time is taken to carefully study archive photos of engines when they were working machines, often the motion covers were sign-written with the name or business of the owner. For whatever reason it is something rarely seen on engines today, which I think is a shame because it looks so good!
