Yes but they had the patented Harland and Bluff horizontal steam trap, like wot you wuz an apprentice on until you failed the exam
Personally I get more satisfaction from a nice four stroke rather than a wheezy two stroke, the length of the shaft makes all the difference.
I am currently domiciled in my palatial funnel suite equipped with lots of A4 and a big box of crayons devising many modifications and enhancements to the thing wot make us go and sends sparks up the chimney thing. I know Varley hates heights but up the chimney is the best place for him as idle hands make light work. I presume this idle hands chappie is suitably qualified in the wire pulling department.
