Not me my dears. I got one this weekend in much nicer condition in a straight swap with the estimable Nick Highfield. One might say that we share a common collection separated by 100 miles and transfer engines to and fro when we get bored looking at them. Separated from them by distance eventually makes them appear attractive again & we meet like gun runners in dark car parks & pass each other Iron Toys. ;o)) I now have a Vincent lifeboat engine, a twin cylinder Amanda unit and now an industrial 75. I've got a Comet in bits in the roof - does that count?
