stevo_m Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I'm lucky enough to live close to the North Norfolk railway and get the opportunity to drive and fire some of the most beautiful loco's around. Some would say I have steam oil running through my veins. I'm the one clearing out the ash in the smoke box!

NickS Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 The Watercress Line runs along the back of the farm where I clay shoot. My lack of accuracy is clearly due to the distraction caused by the half-hourly steam train chuffing its way past.... Great sight, sound and distinctive smell drifting across the field.

NickS Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 My summer holiday this year was kicked off to a great start when we took the Orient Express to Venice. It was a quite extraordinary and memorable experience. The British Pullman took us from London Victoria to Folkestone where we transferred to coaches for a trip through the Chunnel. We boarded the Orient Express in Calais for the overnight journey to Venice. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
