This changes the perspective slightly and the engines look absolutely magnificent, they stand very proudly. I perhaps have not explained that very clearly - in which case just enjoy the photo!

Thanks for that super photo of the Dalesman.

Mr Freeman promised he would look after it when he bought it from us all those years ago, and he has done just that, it looks just as good as ever. I have not actually seen it in the flesh since it left our farm in North Yorkshire on a low loader in summer 1986 .
