Perhaps they'll give me one, as I did help look after this at one time.

I remember building something that looked very like that out of one of the big Meccano sets, in the days when these weren't just a collection of custom-made parts to make one trendy model...

A mate of mine back in the 70's told me about finding a steam shovel in the bottom of a flooded gravel pit, he was a member of the British sub Aqua club, I wonder if it was this one?

I had several dealings with Ray when I was working with engines in the Science Museum. Very helpful and a pleasure to cooperate with. Well done Ray.
