They are not good to breath in, at least steam smells nice.
I'm glad it's not just me then!

her wide open it was like HMS Glowworm trying to hide from the

Anyone who likes clag ought to go sit in the middle of Brockholes Tunnel on the Penistone line all week for 10 hours a shift, with a Class 31 on the train.
This 31 was booked for setting off the fire alarms in the roof of Euston Station it was so bad.
In the closed environment of a tunnel breathing in this c... is not something I would recommend to anyone.
In the end we secured the train in the tunnel, hooked the engine off and stood outside in the fresh air.
All that glitters is not gold.
