@@jasonm4982 I understand during Rev Boston's ownership he took her to a few steam rallies. my Great Grandma found a old guide book with information on her local second hand book store about the late narrow gauge railway written by Teddy himself. there is also information about his steam roller and traction engine too.
@@eliotreader8220 i dare say quite a rare book, my parents were book collectors and both keen on steam, no sign of any of his books when i sorted through them
@@jasonm4982 My Granny knew about my interest in steam powered engines and she had found this book quite by chance. lovely picture of Rev Boston driving Pixie on the small railway. in the picture she's all lined out in white I believe
It filled an entire large shed, more the size of a garage. Teddy was a wonderful human being. If you go to his main church, at Cadeby, you can see Teddy and his wife Audrey - and the engine Pixie - immortalied in a stained glass window. Go to another of his churches, at Sutton Cheney, and relish his Richard III connection, and all the momentoes there; The Richard III Society have always felt at home here. There was only, ever, one Teddy Boston!
I certainly know that the Rev. Audrey based Trevor on the traction engine in the video. My grandpa would have been able to say for sure, but he's been gone for almost 3 years now. Ill have a read of From Font to Footplate and see if it mentions anything.
@@bennewbon I believe his steam roller is also believed to be the basis for another steam powered character. I imagine he found them very handy when a road needed repairs or a tree needed to be cut up for fire wood.
Had many visits to the rectory, Teddy even let me stear the traction engine at Cadby steam rally, in my mid teens, what a joy
I understand he took Pixie to a few steam rallies not just the traction engine and steam roller
@@eliotreader8220 I didn't know that, that would have been quite a sight, I've not seen Pixie after it left, think I'd heard it was kept privately?

I can see the real-life model baseis of Trevor the Traction Engine, George the Steamroller, and Buster the Steamroller.
Plus a certain grumpy steam roller
Trevor!!!!
Nice to finally hear his voice
Its funny how many Vicar's have an interest in railways and steam engines
Gracias por compartir este hermoso video! Saludos desde Uruguay!

IT FILLS AN ENTIRE ROOM FOR CHRISTS SAKE
It filled an entire large shed, more the size of a garage. Teddy was a wonderful human being.

I imagine he found the traction engine to be very handy
Fun fact teddy boston was featured on a railway series story tit for tat known as the fat clergyman on the small railway engines
Trevor's looking for Children again.. but in all serious this man was a saint. He did find Duke the Lost engine afterall
I have a t-shirt of the same Traction Engine that Reverend Ted Boston had
And what does the church fete in Awdry’s “Saved from scrap” story refer to in where?
Part two will be uploaded tomorrow (12/11/17)
Very. Good
What do they say at 2:09?

Hasn’t Boston’s traction-engine saved from the scrap-heap like Trevor?
I certainly know that the Rev. Audrey based Trevor on the traction engine in the video. My grandpa would have been able to say for sure, but he's been gone for almost 3 years now. Ill have a read of From Font to Footplate and see if it mentions anything.
Same for Boston. And what’s From Font To Footplate?
@@terencewilliammckenna6121 is the book now out of print now?
