Train was our only main form of transport so many memories it is sad to think it was destroyed to the level it has been.
Supporting the old steam trains where private companies are running them to assist in keeping them in business, tough times!

Oh yes, and we all have many experiences of train travel, but no more now and the media are lamenting the destruction of our none existing train services.
A very expensive hobby and thankfully we have the die hard volunteers that love the old trains so much that they are not prepared to see them going to scrap.

When hubby was running there were a few steam train/marathon runner events countrywide Man vs Machine we had one up Richards Bay/Empangeni where we were on the train while he ran, used to be good fun.
Hobby of keeping steam trains takes a community prepared to work for the love of it!

Oh yes, I don remember the marathons and great to hear that your hubby ran some of them Lady Joan.
Yes, I bet that you guys had a lot of fun.
Exactly right as the old engineers and drivers are all in love with their work.

Steamers only attract a certain type of people who have a deep love of yesteryear, in time it too will become a forgotten factor.

I have to sadly agree with you Lady Joan and I dread the day that they all disappear.

As we go off to happy hunting the few left will also depart, love of steam will be lost into story books.
Always happens to the good stuff methinks.
