What a gorgeous sight!! A live steam miniature locomotive letting off steam before going round the miniature railway!!

Yes, We could have done with-out the rain, but it did enhance the look of the steam :)

Lovely traction engines!! These came from a very different era!! An era of grace and beauty rather than speed and ugliness!!

[@KarlAndDebbieTrains]

Hello, Yes, we don't build things like that any more :(, Thanks for Watching.
