Increasingly it is about telling stories and explaining what and why. I've said before that I have to switch off at certain rallies where there is no programme, no movement, engines lumped together and fathers saying to their children "look at that train, it's called Louise".

The info sheet/board/display when well done is a big step in the right direction, I have one for the wee Wallis and it does make people stop and look.

Education and entertainment are where it's at.

Oh dear. I'll be at a train event next weekend.

Watching them start the Dorman 4JO's should be fun. I noticed when last at Boston lodge (where I bumped into Mr Daniels) that standard practice there was to light a steamer. Then when i had enough puff they bump started the infernal combustion thing. Ha ha
