Yeah its great fun. I am not sure about how many sacks of coal to the mile but i think its more economical than a V8!

My youngest was playing Beckwithshaw in the football field behind the church that day. I saw the traction engines in the pub car park as i turned in, i meant to come across for a look,but some of the football dads were having a question and answer session with me as i was in the Dodge and i got sidetracked. Saw a few leave as we were watching the football.

Dont know if you noticed steve but later on in the afternoon one went past the football field by itself - which was the one i was driving!
I had been camping in a field behind the smiths arms on saturday night. Woke up on sunday morning feeling rough and had to get the fire lit from scratch. Luckily it was slightly warm still so it took less time to get up to pressure.
