Murray Bennell was a regular at Windsor also. When he had his engine to the point of running, he borrowed the Maisie tender from Ted Lee and ran his engine at the meets. Eventually, Murray would finish the engine and tender, using the steel sheet from the back of his mother's washing machine. His engine was also well traveled and was at most of the eastern US tracks, Montreal and Winnipeg too. Murray was always fun to travel to the meets with and for many years, he was the driver when he and Tom Sullivan would go to the Waushakum meet every year. At the time of his passing, he was working on a 3/4 inch Hoffman Hudson. For several years. Murray also had a high line track set up on his brothers farm in Ridgetown Ontario. Photo by Steve Bratina.
