Oliver Cromwell

[ffutures]

I see the steam excursion trains are running from Paddington again - Oliver Cromwell just went by my house



pulling a load of carriages. Unfortunately it was on the track nearest the house and half concealed by the wall on the other side of the road, so I couldn't get a picture of my own.

Old Noll is very pretty:)

It's more of a brute than Bittern, which sometimes does this run, but they're both very attractive engines.

Hmm. Pretty good, but personally I'm more taken by the Bullied's and some of Greasely's.

But I'm a simple soul.

I'm afraid I don't know enough about engines to comment - I've looked up the ones I see on the line, that's about it.

Nor do I really. It doesn't stop me having an uniformed preference though.

I blame my father - to many trips with him to the Bluebell railway in my youth (and of course Blackmore Vale)
