• (The car)

      Was new to the working man in the late fifties early sixties, Trains choc a block! So you gaze into your firebox n think a couple of shovels up front? and maybe a couple in back corners! (Your reserve)! Bit like a bank account of a bit of cash for a rainy day! But today’s bumper to bumper trek into the city is dependent on if you have somewhere to park your pride and joy! Combined, These cars spitting Monoxide/ CO2 n stuff challenge the atmospheres recovery plan! Whereas my little bit of coal in the back corners carry so many redundant pride and joy car owners into the city every day? The Riddles was too heavy? So 82025 standard or even the wheel of the M7 would manage ok without so much Oomph! But Economy wise it would be the 41 Ivatt! So my move to the big stuff was to work for my money! No more tank engines! But suddenly time was more Oomph! (More speed)! But I have said before, When Drivers eyes dart over the boilers face in a fraction of a second for a smile to crease his face? You think – Is this all you got? Bring it on! And passengers Carbon spitting bubbles are left at home for this journey! For my little bit in reserve to shine down on this little 10,000 ft atmospheric collar around our necks we call home!
