Thanks for showing us some pictures Peter. I was particularly pleased to see this.

This is apparently the fastest currently operational steam loco. Roco do an excelent model of this with an optional second tender.

It seems that one member of an English speaking party had been partaking of the local beer and wasn't aware that the GWR prairie was present. On walking round one of the other locos he spotted tank locomotive and made a comment along the lines of "I'm not drinking any more of this

beer - I'm seeing things"
