Viv and I called at Prestons in January, by prior appointment and declared our interest was strictly window shopping at that time. MLB was very ill but still substituted his more than capable Son to look after us. If you take out the few engines that are on brokerage, there is a phenomenal amount of money sat there and until or unless something sells, there is no return. Do some homework on what has fetched what sort of price recently and if you are serious, make an appointment and go- it's the candy store of the road steam world! We will soon be in the market for an engine for a specific job and will not hesitate to deal with MLB if the right choice for us is in stock. Vern.
