    A real man's post this. I wonder why men find this stuff so fascinating - but I must say it did bring back a feeling of nostalgia for my childhood.

    To my mind or rather my nostrils, there is nothing like the noise and smell of steam with hot oil. For it takes me right back in time to all of the steam driven lorries, trains and ships that were in service during the 1950's.

    I just love the 'back in time' feeling I get when I see this stuff...never seen a lot of it, but did see some once at a car show. I get the same feeling when I hear the sound of an older John Deere tractor..

    I enjoyed your colorful close ups. Sort of Steam Punk!

    Lovely pictures! I wonder if the original steam engines were painted those lovely colours, or if this is just a tradition that has grown up recently.
