What a Friday night's entertainment! I loved all the vehicles. The trucks with their loads of people and/or cartage. The bus: what a jewel. And the sound of the engine! The Stanley "coffin nose" and the cars, I believe they were Bantams. I would truly love to see those sights in person, but realistically, my traveling days are over. Back in the 1980s if I remember correctly, there was a Foden steam lorry in Tulsa. A gentlemen, James Leake, one of the starters of the big collector car auction business, had gone to England and returned with the truck. A delightful sight amongst the steam traction engines, threshers, and large gas tractors of the Oklahoma prairie.
