Hi Hedd
Whats with the railway engine? The Yanks might not have gone much for spit and polish but the driver must be annoyed at a smutted cab. Was a light up left unattended? The tender looks like it has already suffered one fire.
I thought American engines would greatly exceed the UK loading gauge but that one does not look huge.
Ironbridge looks so innocuous in present day quiet surroundings it is hard to appreciate its historical importance.
One of the many anoying features of moderns is that there is nowhere to stand a Thermos. Although I have had one or two blown over. And driven off with items on the roof.
Nowadays youngsters are about the only persons proportioned for Sevens.
