Video of Steam Train into London

Post by Nigel H-J »

Could not help laughing whilst watching this video from the BBC.

After an interview the camera is back on the platform where many are stood, then.......!!!!

I suppose this would be one reason for not going back to steam!!

Well Its either that or have the cylinders break due to excess moisture within. Simply drain cocks from the cylinders. You will probably see this most time when a steam loco is starting out, espescially if it has been sat for a while allowing the steam to condense into water inside the cylinder.

I assume that they didn't realise that secondary smoking is bad for them? :dunno:

Thanks for the link Nigel.
