Am I going mad?

Anybody else seen the Tornado, a steam train built only a few years ago?
Last time I saw it, it was on the North York Moors Railway.

Galen we built one on 8ft x 4ft 00..it had everything..been trying to find pics to put on profile but I must have got rid of them all..it is sooooooo absorbing! it takes over your making me! want to build one!

that's 4ft not 4ft 00 (00 is the gauge)

Ga-len tell the truth now, fess up, what is on the dining room at this very moment ?
(wanders off wondering if one can be both hoarder and compulsively neat...)

Re Tornado. Earlier this year we were on a steam train at the Bo'ness preservation railway in Scotland. As it came to the end of the line, the guard announced we would be stopping for a while so we could see Tornado pass. What a sight and she sounded her whistle as she went by. I now have the sound of her whistle on my mobile. It certainly makes people jump and look when on the bus. Steam Dreams run trips pulled by Tornado. One Day(Big sigh).

A pile of magazines, the files for 4days tribunals in date order. A set of notes about PIP a large oval plate from jersey pottery depicting a salmon. The medications that have just been delivered. A Camembert baker. The charger for my luggie.
Gosh! It's practically empty!

Tornado! Had the privilege of having a day trip on Tornado. DH is a big steam fan, the trip was a present to him from the family - It was an amazing experience. The journey was lined by folk waving and taking photos. One felt like the queen, waving away at the nation!!!

Don't think it would fit on my dining room table though?

Just mentioned it because someone said they do not make them like that any more.
They do!

When DS wanted a train set I bought one for his sister as well, oh the happy hours we spent.
I actually used to play with real steam trains, my father built and ran them at a model engineering club. If I can find a decent quality photo I will put it on the picture thread.

Wish I still had my Hornby...

Have posted a photo of one of our trains with steam up.

I've decided no!
I've bought a new tv instead!

Does it have a steam channel?

classic Galen

No! It's very modern. It's electric!

Steam radio went a long time ago! Do wish you old people would make some sort of effort to keep up to date!

tut just found my train whistle

Whoo whoo!
