That is one exquisite early TE1, a real fine job you have done there, great to see.

Thanks for the kind words guys, but really I did very little, just a quick clean. It’s just a nice example, complete with box and all original accessories.
But glad you like it as much as I do.
I’m starting my website soon, so I will be asking a few of you in the coming months if I can use some images of your engines you have all posted in the last year or so (especially you Chris)

No problem,
I wished I had entered this one in the engin of the month now not my "Old Glory" TE.
Hope your TE comes out close to the origional colour bessytractor. I you need more pics you can see them on my website.

There will be more months to come
I think the EOM is getting to be a higher standard to break.
