The strange / funny / no, right first time; STRANGE thing is Kevin I have in my Will that I want my ashed to be put into the firebox of WC 34016 'Bodmin' as she steams past Ropley towards Alton so I can be scattered everywhere on that part of the line.

Give me a few days warning, if you can, and I'll take my washing in.

You'll be well scattered too. They don't half chuff when going past in that direction! They normally coast back down, and our garden is at about the point where the safety valve blows if they've been a bit over indulgent with the shovel on the way up. Has made me jump a couple of times.

   I would like to think Kevin it would be as a mark of respect, but I suppose you must keep that washing smut free!


Yes at that point they are usually raising steam in preparation of the return journey to Ropley / Alton, and if it is either the Merchant Navy or West Country loco's they are such free steamers (the thermic syphons greatly help the excellent boiler overall) anyway, especially if you keep the back corners of the firebox filled 'little and often'.

Of course. When the washing comes in Mrs. KW's stupid black cat will decide to sleep on it so a few smuts are no problem.

yes, I sent my dad on a "footplate experience" a couple of years ago so I have heard all about it.

If you gotta do it on a railway line then you probably should'nt be doing it at all. Hope this one makes the Darwin Awards.

I have this theory that she needed the viabration from the track as the train approached because he usually was no good at foreplay, but he still couldn't satisfy her before the train arrived and it was all too late anyway.

Ladies does this sound familiar?

It was probably an adult version of feeding a child.....you know, open wide for the train, choo choo, but it was of course not food going into the tunnel.................!!!

Oooooh claws..it might only be a small organ but it's not used to playing in a cathedral!!!!!!!!!
