Rowde ploughing match

[Gordon Bennett]

Hi Sam,

Great photos - the horse drawn GWR wagon really looks the part, together with the step ladder tied(?) to the tender; I really like these details. Also, the shadow cast by the front wheels in the second photo is amazing and very striking; the sun is fairly low and must have been directly in front of the engine - I don't think I have ever seen a shadow like this before - and I do spend quite some time imagining what shapes shadows should be!!!. A strange interest I know, but each to their own...!!! The ashpan on the Garrett; is it the one off a certain 4CD in Coventry? And that's not the best table cloth on the belly tank is it?!

I'll send you an update on the drawing soon - when I get a minute.
