Just HAD to run a steamie...It was STILL a great, if somewhat shorter, run than usual. But heck, at least we got out and DID it. tac

tac, no photos??

(I know, it's difficult enough to run these engines at those temps. Temps were hovering near freezing at my last steamup and my fingers began to not function so well near the end of the day.)

Terry,
I steamed a Garratt in the snow this week and it went beautifully, no trouble getting up steam and ran it for 20 mins before turning it off.

We also had an evening steam up last Friday.

Since I've not run in a while and the weather should be good tomorrow guess I'll give it a try. Should be about 25 in the am so should get af good cloud of smoke. Later RJD

There have also been steamers in Oxfordshire

Snow day so children at home with my wife (also works at the school so off as well). I have been at work all day and came home to discover that son (8 years) and my wife have had a steamer out in the garden without me!!!!
