Beautiful, Jenny!
Beautiful, Jenny! I love steam locomotives and stories of trains. A steam engine is the worst kind at wasting energy, not burning clean, i.e efficiency, heat energy to power. A steam engine is also the strongest. A Boeing taking off is a thrill but nothing to a steam train.
Great on the Cherrries!
All the best! Tom
