Seems to be chugging along quite nicely as it is

Indeed. There's not been any shouting or name-calling, but there's still been a reasonable buzz of interest and involvement. What I'd say is a bit of a low commotion rather than any kind of riot of activity.

I'm going to embarrass myself and the whole board. Yes. I'm a train nut. Go on laugh. The Evening Star was the last steam locomotive ever built by British Rail. That's why Chuchmans reply was super clever - and got a Smoker Uppie. It's a Class 9F and is massive, and it out-performed all diesel locomotives until they retired it.

Is this you?

I’m actually not a train nut. Aviation is more my thing, but I am interested in all forms of engineering. The history and impact of the railways on our world is off the scale.

I thought of Evening Star because when I visited the York Museum for my first and only time so far a few years ago, that was the locomotive that stood out for me. Flying Scotsman: Legendary. Mallard, Rocket, Bullet you name it: all wonderful. But Evening Star really was for me the star, and I don’t mean Stephenson’s broad gauge Star class.

Wonderful museum, York. There’s so much fascinating stuff there. including Royal carriages Mrs C loved. You’ve got to be mentally uncoupled not to give it a little time, if you are up that way. Highly recommended.

He's a toned down version of me.
You can tell by his trousers that there's no boner or wet patch whereas me???

Hasn't this pun-fest become a bit 'side-tracked'?

Nothing wrong with the odd branch line.

Sometimes the safety valve does release when the pressure becomes too much.

Is that anything to do with the angle cock?
