I made it to the city of Bristol to see a train I had not got footage of yet, but have seen from time to time. Henbury is a really stunning industrial tank engine. I love tank engines, because they are the powerful workhorses of many railways.

Bristol is nice. I considered going to university there to study Geography (the grades needed were too ambitious for me, so it was always a long shot; in the end I went to Bangor instead). My godmother lives not too far away from Bristol, near Yate, so I have been into the city on a few occasions, most notably when they had the various Gromit statues dotted around the place (my favourite was Isambark Kingdog Brunel, who they could've put in a few places but ultimately chose to put him outside Temple Meads), and the Shaun the Sheep statues a year or two later.

I studied Animation in Bristol (I should really get back into it) and from there the city took my heart. I have made many friends in the city and no doubt I'll make many more. An old school friend of mine went to Bangor to learn politics. Sadly I don't talk to him nowadays but I hope he is doing well. The Gromit Trails are really fun.

@@ph4ntomtr4in Somehow, studying animation in Bristol just seems right, what with Aardman being based there! Bangor was great, and well, being on the doorstep of Snowdonia, it was perfect for Geography! I usually had a a fair journey to get there though, travelling by train. Often at the start of term my parents would drop my sister off at boarding school in Shrewsbury and I'd take the train from there. On the way back I'd either be picked up from there or Smethwick Galton Bridge or just head all the way back to Kidderminster. Coming home for Christmas in my second year was an odyssey though. I think there were engineering works on the North Wales Coast Line between Rhyl and Chester, and there was also chaos from flooding which had affected the line to Wrexham and therefore Shrewsbury. That wasn't an issue, I could go via Crewe instead and still end up at Smethwick. One of my flatmates was in the same boat as me, only instead of going to Kidderminster he was going further, down to Pershore. We got on the train at Bangor and it terminated at Rhyl. We then had some chaos as the replacement bus hadn't arrived. The staff were brilliant, they were trying to call taxis, sorting people out into groups, etc. We eventually got a bus to Chester, then found that trains were being cancelled there so we had to take another bus to Crewe. Then we got on a train, but got stuck at Wolverhampton! In the end I called my dad and he picked me up from there. My flatmate meanwhile stuck it out! He did manage to get home eventually. The whole thing took from around 3pm until somewhere between 9 and 10!

It actually looks quite a beefy thing. You see a little OO model of one yet you don’t realise the actual size of the real engine.

I've not seen a OO model one, but you do have a point. It's quite beefy for a tank engine.
