He looks just like the late Fred Dibnah (if I've got the right name for the guy that I'm thinking of!)

Thanks Tigerimages! Yes, it reminded me of the late Fred Dibnah too. He was a traction engine owner as well I believe.

Regards, Tony

I think its obligatory for traction engine drivers to look like that!!!

Looks really good in black and white.
