'Clementine' is a 1920 Aveling & Porter road locomotive - so 3 speeds and a sprung rear axle make her OK for short road runs where she will do about 12mph. Sadly no events or outings over the holidays - she's drained and being prepped for her big boiler inspection early in the new year. Posting from phone - will try to add a photo later to this thread at the risk of sending it further off course!

Nice! I'm jealous  Hope all goes well with the boiler inspection. A nerve wracking time. Worse than MOT's ( and potentially more expensive! Ian
