Today was a real treat. I accomponied my daughter and my grandson on a ride on an antique narrow guage steam train in Melbourne, Australia, known as "Puffing Billy".
Perhaps some staff are paid but I suspect many of those involved are volunteers and they do a wonderful job of maintaining everything and dressing in outfits appropriate for the era. There is something magical about steam.
Three year old Ed wasn't too happy about the noise (I'm also rather sensitive to noise myself). He was most interested in the steam rail museum.
A great day out. He's not quite ready for his foundation radio license but the clock is ticking...
