I used to see trains in the distance at night from my bedroom window and didnt know what it was when I was a wee lad and of course when the firebox door was open you could see this red glow and the smoke and steam trailing my dad told me they were dragons.Then just after ww11 was over we went to Cornwall by train then I discovered what they were and they have been with me ever since.My father used to tip the engine driver and thank him for the safe jouney.I go on as many trips steam hauled as i can afford love em.
