Does my Great grandad and Great uncle,Thomas and John qualify for this thread? The Foden bears the name “Dorothy” after one of his daughters my Great aunt, “Dora” as I knew her.The name plate is cast in brass,makes “Fast Eddie” look a bit of a “cheap skate” with the scrawl he puts on the front of his motors!!! Cheers Bewick.

Nice one bewick :laughing: :laughing:

Dennis, are you related to “OUR” Thomas Bewick the celebrated wood engraver? If so I will have to be suitably deferential with my posts in the future, well maybe!!! regards kevmac47. Ps. The smoke from that Foden stack could be from a 240 Gardner!!!
