My dad was a steam train enthusiast and when we went out somewhere in the car for a picnic, more often than not the site was mid-country, but just happened to be near a railway line ;-)

We have 1/3 size ones in Kent on Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.

Dad would have liked to see them, but had sadly died before we came to live here <3

Evening all :-D :-D :-D

We get steam trains through our station, sometimes stopping to take on water - the diners within try to pretend they're not being stared at LOL

Just got a ping and the beep beep beep. Grub's up :-D

Evening Island :-D :-D

I think the thing I remember most about the adjacent railway line at my Nans…was the kaleidoscope effect bouncing around the bedroom walls of the lit carriages as they sped by
