I bought myself the "Working Crawlers" DVD from the UK a few years ago, and watched it over the past few years, but last night had a look again, and made a note of all the folk interviewed by Allan Stennet.

The DVD was filmed at the 1999 working day of the then Ch2 UK ACMOC.
It was great to see and hear all the Cats, IH's, a GM growler AC, a Track Marshall as well a David Brown.
It is a very well produced and filmed DVD, and Allan Stennet's narration adds value to the DVD.

Now I am just curious as to who of these names are still active on their Cats:
Peter Longfoot, Paul Tofield, Robert Thorpe, Michael Sands
Henry Howlett, Jed Stephenson, Donald Allwood, Raymond Oliff, Ian Steel, Maurice Copeland, Tony Gent.
I had the fortunate experience to see Arthur Hinch's collection in Sept 2008 accompanied by Chesire Cat and my brother while visiting the Little Casterton weekend, hosted on Arthur's farm.

If someone from the UK could let me have Arthur's postal address, I'll really appreciate it, as I have something that I want to mail him.

Hats off to the UK guys for keeping the Cats alive!
