Hi BBT, Towy was bow hauled from Oldbury/Bham area to Wood Bros. Lanehead bridge in order that I could rebuild the Fergusson diesel which was in 2 boxes in bits, JS had fallen out with Brian Duval who was to do the job , interesting, they had sawn off 3 parts of the exaust manifold to make it sound like ba single, all this around 1961/3, by John Stephenson, (the then owner) together with his mate a guy called Beard, I believe it left Thos Clayton minus the Bolinder.

      The Fergie was not to his liking, he then got me to drop in a National, (one of several I purchased from Bulls Bridge), this was done to my memory around 1963/64 at Sherbourne St., I lost track of Towy then, but I believe it was involved in a deal to purchase a Baltic trader, which ended up on the I.OW., the last time I saw her loaded was at Walsall gas.
