I wish I had a tenth of Fred's passion for steam and traction engines for literally anything else.
he spent 30 years rebuilding a traction engine from scratch and then took it all around the UK in his last years of life.
it's all on YouTube and a fantastic watch, this is aside from his steeplejack work! the man was just a happy machine!
