Inspiration for Wesley

If he did then he couldn't give him all of Fred's traits, overalls and cap are fine but would you let Wesley knock down a large Chimney given his track record I should coco :eek::eek2::fp:
 
A neat little video. I can see where he and Wesley were cut from the same cloth. At least for their love of machines and caps. Just read the guy was a steeplejack too - must have been fearless.
 
I always thought i read somewhere that he was modelled on him. Fred was a legend, i visited his house a few years ago. It was such a shame when he died, he was a one off. He's buried in the cemetery behind his house. We often see his old engines and his Land Rover at our local steam fair.
