They consume lots and lots of expensive coal and water. Their mechanical efficiency is low. They are labour intensive to a high degree. Just warming through a cold boiler takes hours. The essential maintenance list would make a diesel operator blanche. Their ecology is a disaster. And yes, we love them. They are extra special! peter woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535535150947166836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504355100412290227.post-11805768322814895712021-08-05T15:31:49.181+01:002021-08-05T15:31:49.181+01:00There was a steam train line here for many years, ...There was a steam train line here for many years, but it went under when a portion of its tracks got damaged by a landslide.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504355100412290227.post-13417976679690751842021-08-04T20:02:47.142+01:002021-08-04T20:02:47.142+01:00I have become enamored with these British steam tr...I have become enamored with these British steam trains as they are inevitably included in most of the British mystery shows that I watch almost exclusively.
