The man's name was actually Dennis Waters who at that time owned Marshall S type roller Anne. He used to organise a steam party at the Greyhound pub next to the canal in Findern. O happy days

Anyone know what's happened to Marshall roller 'Anne'. Can't remember the works number. Is it still at Klondyke?

Here's a rather poor picture of Anne at the Greyhound steam party

I've posted these photos before but here's a couple more of the Admiral at Findern

Have you any more photos of this do Bozi? The roller next to Anne is W&S Caroline, when Alfie Baker owned it.

Ethel on here is the real Isaac Ball expert but from memory Togo was bought new by Balls in 1904 as his fleet number 6,(2512 is 4 and 2513 is 5) he must have been impressed by his previous purchases in 1902 of 2512 & 2513 as he ordered another identical engine. As mentioned Ethel will be able to fill in more detail.
