I was talking to the owner when I arrived at Beamish on the Thursday morning and it seems it was lucky he got there at all, the Foster had a leak just days before and in trying to cure it he broke a stud, he cancelled the Lowloader and tried everything he could to remove the broken stud that had been in the Foster since 1913, but he did cure the leak and he told me how and re-organised the Lowloader and as you say he did a wonderful job taking visitors around the museum grounds, and I and many others would have been pleased he persevered to fix `Mighty Atom`
