i think Fred and Roger where very lucky that they did not set fire to that lady's house, I understand that her Husband was rather worried about the boiler blowing up and Asked Fred the chances of that happening
I think I know what wall you are talking about . I see it when I go on holiday to the west country . It goes on for a long way and has statues of deers and lions and other animals on it .
the boiler won't blow up or anything like that will she? I find what the Lady's Husband asked Fred to be very interesting given what ended up happening with the model steam engine
@roger_murray is there any chance of any photos of the engine or links to old newspapers or perhaps an article in Model Enginer showing info of it long before it ended up in the glass case in that Library?
whenever I listen to this story, the walias and gromit runaway train chase seems to pop into my head, had a nice laugh old chap!

As if a cat meows when he mentions the cat.
Brilliant story back then the average car did about 10 pints to the mile 😁
