Steam Trains at the GWR

A day out during the Easter holidays took us south to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway to relive the days of steam. It's amazing what fun can be had rattling up a short stretch of line that was probably closed by Dr. Beeching. And a a pace no greter than 30mph. In First Class. By disobeying the 'do not put your head out' sticker above one of the windows, I was able to enjoy a pleasure few enjoy these days. Steam engine smut right in the eyeball.

The fireman on the Black Prince allowed the childred (brief) visits onto the footplate, he even had the decency to keep them well away fom the fire.
