I too was having a look at that GND and it was rather smart indeed. I also noticed that during the arena parades, the young driver seemed to look almost bored !!
I assume that after a while the novelty of driving an engine wears off compared to the work of keeping it in steam

Thank you Mr Bloor.
Another of the engines I had a small part to do with. Nice to see the finished result.

Perhaps it is because although the Aveling is the new Toy he is used to a far superior model of Tractor to play on! Jack is on here as Ruston-Boy so perhaps he might comment!
