It's a matter of some hilarity to those who know me well but the reason I cannot get to the North Weald show tomorrow is that I am off to Wales to play trains... working as a fireman on the Corris Railway to be precise.

My good friend Araon actully managed to catch me on a previous trip and can vouch for the excellence of the ride he had in the cab of the steam engine.

What I need is for earlybayers to help me rig a vote...

This should take you to a page offering a choice of votes for a variety of projects.

Our claim to fame is that we have had a brand new steam engine built for us...

built a great carriage shed ourselves...

built a carriage from scratch, have three more on the way and they are painted in the most wonderful lined livery...

A further new steam engine is on the way...

... and the mad beggars sometimes even let me drive the empty coaches back to the shed!...

We'll never win the vote but being higher up the list would be great.

In return any earlybayer in the area just needs to contact me and I'd almost certainly be able to arrange a cab ride for you in the loco!
 
Done, I recently went on the Ffestiniog railway to Porthmadog was a great day out. Would have loved to be up front. Every boys dream I guess!
 
click! :msn4:

might have to take you up on the cab ride some time, we end up just outside Brecon quite regularly to visit the 'inlaws' since its such a treck its always goot to make a weekend of it.
 
Done :D

and yep I felt like a big kid riding in the cab the toes were nice and warm in me sandles..... a bit different to the cabs of the underground trains I'm used to...
 
my son is a huge trains fan, he loves thomas the tank engine

we went to the narrow gauge railway in devon when we were on hols, he loved it
 
Cheers guys! We are only on 0.8% but have gone up three places with your clicks.

Am off to have some kip now as am up at 2am to drive to the line, in the shed to get the fire in the engine at 7.30. Mad or what?
 
Clicked, now 1.2% :) I may take you up on the offer of the cab ride as we only live about 25 miles away and my 9 year old would love it 8)
 
Clicked, now at 1.3% :mrgreen:
 
I'd prefer to think of it as helping you rather than rigging the vote!! :lol:

clicked...in a helping you sort of way...
