These are flowers and they have nothing to do with trains.

This is the entrance to HMS Victory, again nothing to do with trains.

So? who remembers the days of steam of steam eh?

Who like me loves trains?

I am just old enough to remember steam from my very early childhood, I love the steam locomotives, the noise, the smell and even the motion as they pull the trains, far, far better than this modern stuff, so much so that sometimes when travelling on a train nowadays I can't tell if I am in a bus, train or plane, they are lifeless, functional things and nowhere near as romantic as steam trains.

I think the thing I really love about steam locomotives is that they have the mechanics on the outside, it gives them soul.

Anyhoo if you are still reading this, you want to see some pictures of those great big thundering, noisy & smelly steam trains don't you?

Of course you do, well this blog has nothing at all about them in it.

Yeah, yeah, Boo Hiss I hear you cry, but wait, this is about trains, just not the bigguns
