I would have all sorts of engine out of Bristol! Passenger to Royal mail trains to Temple mead’s all given some welly! I hope S/C smokebox labels not read literally from its cooking instructions? If not cleaned, Then hot embers wont settle harmlessly, They will be expelled in the exhaust steam! I cant believe its that simple? But i don’t remember hurtling through trackside fires? I don’t remember what i had for dinner yesterday but i would remember the fire smoke raging of yesteryear! A fire spark needs dead cut foliage trackside that’s being tended anyway? And many heathland fires start many miles away from any poor old steam engine?
