Interesting photos, thanks.
Our Ruston was new at the 1920 Bath and West Show 20th to 24th May, on Ruston's stand. Sadly cant track down any photos, but there is a Bath and West Archive who kindly sent me copies of the show catalogue. Any one else whose engine was new through that show I can provide copies as several other engines were present. I guess other catalogues survive and can be researched for other years.
The Ruston was listed as £1430, and Drum £464, but did not sell, passing on to W Godfrey of Ickleton, Cambs, who were Ruston agents, it would appear, also general merchants etc
How about a gathering of engines new through the show??
