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

I think the name 'Snowball' suited it better!

I assume that after a while the novelty of driving an engine wears off compared to the work of keeping it in steam

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!

He only puts it on just before going into the ring to make sure it looks its best. That engine is always kept well. I've said it many times before but in my humble opinion, it's one of the best looking engines on the rally field today. It looks 'balanced' i.e. well proportioned and the lads who run it are a great bunch.

Me and Sam's Boy both cut our teeth on King George V, and it took me to my wedding! Perhaps that is why I am so into polishing....

Smashing engine if you ask me!

I like the photographic reflection on the copper.
