Frank Banister

Dave I fired to frank a few times but he never mentioned a model Brit,depending on the guage or if it was live steam they can fetch a hefty price. my own engine is insured for £7000,It needs quite a bit of maintaining
as it works practicaly every Sunday at Canvey and usualy covers about 10 mile, the boiler has to be tested yearly by an inspector who issues a certificate if all is well.Last Sunday the mechanical lubricator was playing up,
so i have that stripped down at the moment,but its a very rewarding hobby
keeps my hand in at firing and driving just like the good old days.
