Tom Varley was a collector of steam-powered vehicles, known for the Tom Varley Collection, a steam museum mostly of steam wagons, ''"a lasting legacy of which (steam road enthusiasts ) can be proud"''. His business was in running Todber Caravan Park at Gisburn, in the high Pennines of Lancashire. The steam museum was housed in a barn alongside the caravans. The collection was best known from its frequent appearances at steam rallies through the 1970s and '80s. Varley's wagons were recognisable from their fine paintwork and signwriting, each named and prefixed ''Pendle ...''. Six of his rarer, and often unique survivors, were re-imported from Australia before restoration. Tom Varley died in the 1990s. His contribution to the preservation of steam vehicles in the UK has been widely recognised.〔 == List of vehicles == : These vehicles have at one point formed part of the Tom Varley collection. Since his death, some have now been sold on to other owners, and may have been renamed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Varley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
