Very impressive locomotive. Did you take a ride??

Bill Phillips: We did indeed. I won a competition on the Severn Valley website with a picture and got a free pass until next August! So Ange and I will try and get a few trips in!

And I thought the Great West, was full of cowboys and horses. The shiny metal translates beautiful.

Bill Phillips: Not this Great Western. If only they had kept Brunel's 7ft gauge

A great machine - a big lady which may seduce and fascinate many a man like Chris, Brian, Alan and yourself!

Bill Phillips: She's a fine lady Philine. Ange likes them too but then her grandfather was an engine driver!

A workhorse of the GWR. It has a huge cylinder in relation to its overall size.

Bill Phillips: There was a fair old bit of power in these things

Bill Phillips: It is indeed Brian

Congratulations on winning such a prize, Bill. It's lovely in b&w but I would so love to see it in colour.

Bill Phillips: She is sort of in colour tomorrow Pauline
