Wanted Foster 3 speed Steam Tractor in exchange for 1911 Fowler Traction Engine.
Must be able to winch, have the ability to not get stuck or run out of water!

Do I get your crew with the engine?

If so deal, saves me taking it down the Fosse at the weekend!

What you really need is an Aveling Barford with water ballast wheels for added emergency water supplies with the twin coal bunkers that can carry half a ton of Andy's best Welsh Steam Coal !!!!!!
Only down side they get stuck in the mud too .
PS Thanks for the winching on Sunday

As Stuart pointed out whilst we were buggering about on Sunday, we were being useful and put on a good display for the punters.

Cheer up Stuart, you'll be laughing when the shoe is on the other foot and it's me that's stuck!
