But those Gents are all a bit older now, but i'm sure there's some younger ones to fill the gap!?

Any photo's of this Jim? Must have been a very impressive sight!

I'm sure Mr Searle could be persuaded...

Better than photo's, there's video's, 2 or 3 of them. I have them at home here but i dont know where you'd find them now.

I've got one of the tank run from Bovington. I'll have to get my @arse into gear and see if I can magic it onto youtube.
Checking on the dates for this Jim - the tank from Bovington to Dorset was 1995, so I now feel 2 years younger than I did yesterday!

If I've done this right then there should be a snippit or 2 from 1995's run from Bovington to the Steam Fair at.....

Apologies for the very dodgy quality from antiquated video tapes.

I have a VHS of the entire run that I bought a number of years ago in a charity shop.

It is called "Heavy Steam Driven Haulage". Produced by Pegasus.

There is a copy for sale on Amazon.

It's a good video. Well worth a watch.
