Amos is making tracks!

Finally got around to drawing my silly lorry again. I love him so much. Talk about all smiles- this lad is just a ray of sunshine.

Out of all my war boys, Amos' assimilation to peacetime was the easiest.

He was built specifically for WWI- commissioned by the War Office in 1917 to deliver supplies and help repair roads along the Western Front. Amos enjoyed his work, and loved making a difference in the lives of the poor soldiers stuck in the trenches.

Postwar he found himself working for civilian crews- performing road repair back in his home country and hauling heavy loads to and from businesses. Eventually the Fodens were all retired from road service and Amos entered his preservation era.

He bounced around a lot before eventually ending up with the driver he has in modern day, Wally. They make a great pair, and the old gentleman manages to keep his lorry quite busy indeed. Between all the steam events they attend and doing chores about town, the roads stay hot under Amos' wheels.

I'll get around to drawing old Wally at some point
