Train enthusiasts

Near to our town, is a fabulous steam train. It is maintained and run by a bunch of volunteer train enthusiasts. Hats off to these folk, who spend every weekend in the summer taking customers for train rides and then most of the winter on maintenance.

We are so drawn to steam trains. From that early era. My sister in law helps restore them too.

I like how these combine to tell the story of caring for the trains.

Great collage, Dianne. The dedication of rail enthusiasts the world over allows us to remember steam travel with great fondness. Just look how clean they are and imagine all the soot and grease everywhere. Astonishing.

Great images and collage

Great collage. Its the same here, enthusiasts keeping the steam trains going. They all look older men but I hope thats because they're retired and can afford to devote the time to it. I hope there are young'uns waiting in the background to carry on
