      Yes - When I saw it come up for sale I knew I had to move fast as it was going to sell very quickly. Very very pleased. Now the real learning starts!

    It must've cost a huge amount of money,for a traction engine that's clean & detailed.

    Great to see that you made a deal on the Garrett, now comes the learning curve. Look forwards to more vlogs and seeing how you get on 👍🏻

    I would like to see how you tie down and fit the tractor and wagon in your trailer. Do you have any videos of this?

      No, but I'll try and get some footage in a video in the near future.

    Lovely engine enjoy. Perhaps consider not wearing shorts whilst driving because if a gauge glass breaks hot water will blow out under pressure and it could be very painfull.

      It’s very unlikely a gauge glass is going to break unless you go round prodding it with your shovel

      I've adapted now to keeping my legs out of the tender, so less of an issue. To be fair, Tom told me exactly the same thing!

      I'd really like to bring her down, but I've missed the deadline for entries for most rallies this year. I might ring and see if there is any chance of a late entry.
