sipi Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I'm a certified steam train driver. I'm guessing there aren't many of us left. Are you the last of a generation? A printing press type setter, a blacksmith,....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I spent many years repairing thermionic valve powered radar systems. We weren't even taught what these new fangled transistors were all about. "You'll not be seeing those for long time to come'' we were told. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat is a type of crazy Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I live near the puffing billy steam train in Melbourne so they are still a reality there. Many tourists and enthusiasts still keep it going. . They put one on the city line recently and nice to see it go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many tourists and enthusiasts still keep it going. . They put one on the city line recently and nice to see it go by. I just loved the steam trains when I was a lad and travelled all around the UK, well the southern part anyway, getting the numbers of these wonderful beasts and also trying to get inside the cabs, which I did on many occasions. When I moved to New Zealand I vowed to go on the Trans Alpine Express steam train which connects the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand to the West Coast, but never got round to it, however it's still something I want to do. Went on the Bluebell line many years ago and not sure if it's still running? So perhaps I'm the last of a generation that loved steam trains, not sure about that?
