Not from the visit to Roberts, unfortunately. Lot’s of slides from China, including visiting the factory in Datong, where new 2-10-2’s were being built. In East Germany some standard gauge and lot’s of narrow (meter) gauge steam. Someday I’ll have to move them to computer files! Your Roberts is beautiful, by the way. On my touring bike, the seat post screw is an English hex bolt, rather than metric. I had Chas repaint the touring bike, and when I got home and unpacked it, it had become a Chas Roberts rather than his dad’s. And I don’t remember what the address on headtube was. And, I don’t know if anyone on the forum remembers Hallet’s in Albuquerque, but on one visit, he took me to a little house two blocks away that was full of classic bikes, and I can remember some wooden rims.
