High Legh Railway

Great day at High Legh Railway today, including driving this lovely beast. 'Bennu' was an ancient Egyptian deity apparently. This one is a very smokey deity (we were burning house coal!). It's a 7.25" gauge live steam loco big enough to enable one to sit in the tender to drive it.

Great fun, but it'll be better when run on steam coal when there'll be less chance of driver asphyxiation!
