Bittern & dust - two words which mean a lot to so many people. It would be wrong to try and make any jokes at this time so I will leave that to headline writers. What a way to go though on the footplate of a wonderful loco doing what he loves best. From what I read of him this would have tickled his sense of humour. God bless.

I have often thought many steam fans would like to be cremated in the firebox of their
favorite engine. I am sure he would like to go in Bittern for the final trip
---I know the health and safety people would not allow it

Paul was a Carlisle man from the days of steam who I spent a good deal of time with. His knowledge, laughter and advise will be greatly missed.

RIP Paul. The trip to mallaig will never be the same....
