That Burrell Gold Medal convertible really is something special! And I'm sure that others will disagree but I feel that Thursford is the best place for it, it's not going to be messed about with or 'tarted up' with new paint thank god!

It is a great place to visit no matter what time of year. I went to one of their Christmas Parties some years ago and spent the whole evening in a corner in deep conversation with Harry Lee and other old steam men. Trouble is, it has changed from the way I remember it in the early 1970s when George would open up the shed about 4pm on Sundays and give a free organ recital in return for a donation to a cancer charity. They were the great days at Thursford.

In my oppinion it is a great shame that the unrestored engines layed around for 30 odd years unsheeted outside before being brought in and given a good clean and polish, just imagine how good they would look if they'd been shedded and kept clean when they finished work.
