I am not into steam engines or anything, but I can fully understand how that interest grips the many that it does.
It was the same oldly worldly feeling a couple of times at a Burns festival I attended here in Scotland.
Well once was at the Millenium, when Fred Dibnah appeared as a guest, with some of his kit.
And the other, an old traction engine appeared to drive an old fashioned funfair. Again I saw how easy it would have been to get involved in this kind of preservation as well...... My old cronie from the village the thing was held in was mankier than wally in casey jones, as he had been a run on the thing..... and loved every minute.
