Something I thought I would share with you. Did you know that there are currently approximately 4000 road worthy steam driven road vehicles in the UK, which means there are about 1500 more of them than Griffiths. Not a lot of people know this. Feel free to pass it on.

I was always under the impression that there's a lot less than 2,500 Griffs on the road!

My Dad has a road worthy 1/4 scale Fowler Ploughing engine, and I have a road-worthy Griffith. I know which I'd sooner drive, (and I've driven both).

I'd hate to work out the coal-per-mile of the Fowler.
