Preston Services December Open Weekend

[Iron Ada]

I'm amazed to see the little Wallis Oil Bath 'The Viper' still there. I went up to buy that two years ago and then changed my mind at the last minute and bought Iron Ada instead! I thought it would have gone by now.

It has. In storage there awaiting new owner sorting accomodation on one side of the atlantic or the other. Same goes for the Aveling tractor next to it which was bought by the same chap.

That's an interesting wear pattern on the strakes of the mostly-missing Marshall agri.

Yes , I have a Marshall wheel just like that , but the pair to it is much more evenly worn . I would be interested to see the wheel on the other side of that Marshall .

Dave, give the guy some respect, his name is Michael List-Brain. He has a large collection and museum, most engines are pretty interesting and it's good of him to open up his premises for those who want a nose around. Some of you guys may not like the guy as you may not like me or anyone else, but he's been responsible for bringing many engines and some very rare ones at that back to this country, helped increase the value of most engines in this country and in my dealings with him been entirely honourable in his dealings. At least call him Michael or Mr. It keeps things civil and polite.

Went down today, and had a very pleasant time. How many engines?? Goodness knows, as difficult to count all the derilicts in the barn now it's all fenced off.
Regarding the above post, respect and courtesy cost nothing, something sadly forgotten by a lot of people these days.

I don't know the chap, and sorry I asked the question, I won't bother in future!

Everyone around me are known by there last names, Garner, Huntbach, Tomo etc, I have respect for most. In future if you have a problem please pm me and mention it to me, I will gladly change it, no need to write a patronising message like this.

Hope I am not offending you but I am offended by you! Just a little thought for others feelings as you say about my post.

Dave
