Steam Trains

I love trains!!! I love going to the fields and watching over the fence as the trains go by, used to do this all the time with my Gran when I was small.

At that point the First Great Western 43 HST was running. I loved the smell of the diesel engine as it went by, when I think of it I can still remember the smell.

I've never seen a proper old steam train unfortunately, that's something I still desperately want to do one day. I love watching trains videos and looking up the facts about them like their engines and specs.

For me trains are extremely interesting and something wonderful to watch.

When I was a kid there were many times I dreamt of being a train driver and if the opportunity somehow arose now I would do it in a heartbeat!  

I also remember watching Thomas! Great show, loved it as a kid and occasionally still watch it now when I'm feeling nostalgic.

That's wonderful stuff mate. I'm the same as you, I love steam powered locomotives. 

I'm writing a book at present, and one of its features is a steam engine down in the local seaside town. It's a Marklin DRG Class 80 that I've named "Little Owl" and I'm hoping this will appease to all steam lovers upon its release

There's something cool about them. I've always loved trains. Your book sounds good, do you think you'll get it published? There needs to be more train books. I buy and read a lot of books and very few features or are about trains.

Count on it mate :) 

Sounds awesome mate. Keep us posted, I'd be interested in reading it when it's done

It won't be all about them. But it will be a feature over the course of the book. It is of great importance to both the story and it's ending
