(Western Prince engine compartment no good for dance lesson's)?
A narrow walkway then cross the engines width to pass engine 2? Bath road office send three of us out to learn steam heating boilers! Can you imagine the end of steam in 1965 and having to squirt diesel spray onto a hot coil to produce steam! And a lot of steam! (This boiler was no toy) The big fireman in front of me sprayed copious amounts of diesel to ignite it and leapt back to knock me over! You can view the explosion through a glass hole in the top! I must write of the several boilers one day? I think the 1000 Prince was a Stones? And i rue the day they sent us to collect a diesel all the way to Plymouth Laira! My driver only drove a Push bike! I on the other hand drove a Triumph motorbike! We went to the dummy like a Kangaroo? We startled the horses and rabbits on Dartmoor! Forgive me as I mentioned this before? But animals knew steam engines! They didn’t blink an eye! But this diesel was different! 1963, and Moorland animals shot off in all directions? I can just imagine the panic of said rabbit igniting the Western Stone’s Boiler? Lol. All very true, But written by one whose had a glass of beer!

Blimey, That was quick Alexandra? Ive just posted it! I do like your own times on Heritage! But your page doesn’t have a Comment section? I think I would re-enter railway as a cleaner! A pleasant pass time and lots of tea breaks! Hospital say i need a stent? Sounds dodgy to me? (Tablets first though)!

@nostalgia Thanks, Clive! I think I figured out the comment thing – my posts are in the “Heritage – Narrow Gauge” group and I don’t think you’ve joined that one, so you can read them but it doesn’t give you the option to comment.
