I too love steam engines, having been a fireman on Britain's
Southern Railways in the mid fifties, mostly Waterloo to Southampton,
Bournemouth, and Weymouth, and also various freight routes.
One of the engines I used to fire to has been sectioned to show its
innards in the York railway museum. I disobeyed the rules and
climbed up into the cab nearly 50 yrs since I last fired to it; actually
a slightly emotional moment.
