Thank you UK.
I side with the mother country. Thank you U.K.
It is preferable having operating engines so all can see the glory of steam and the beauty that once reigned supreme on the rails.
I see those silent steamers, residing and rusting in parks and museums, as waiting their turn to once again come alive and turn their wheels under their own power and spreading the infection, and affection, that caught me as a child in the late 1940s and early 50s. An operating steamer with a new boiler is preferable to a silent one in a park or museum.
