Oliver Cromwell steam train

I took my grandson Kieran to the local railway station today the 28 June 2009, the steam train Oliver Cromwell was passing through Briton-Ferry, we were told it was due to come at about 4-30 pm so we turned up at 4 o'clock oops far to early turns out to be due at 5;30pm never mind hang about an extra hour no problem.... Due to a signaling problem it did not arrive till about 7 o'clock,,, a bit of a long wait for a 5 year old, He kept himself & me amused and also entertained several people waiting to see the train, so I had to film him ,,, we did manage to see the train he was landed ...it's at the end, hope you enjoy our little film he cracked me up..

It's good to see a steam engine still operational! My dad would have loved to have seen this (he was a major, major train nut! :-) Steam trains have been out of service in most of the USA for more than fifty years and the last passenger train (diesel) went through Lexington, KY forty years ago. Terrific loss.

So glad you and your grandson "still play with trains." My dad would DEFINITELY approve! :-)
