Attack of the "cloned out," a new spin for Lucas. Wow, thanks Dave. This means a lot to me that you would dedicate this to my boy. I just know he'll love it. I'll send Mommy a link so he can have a look. GREAT image of the old 5305, she looks like a grand old steamer. Thanks for the story too.

Excellent POV & fascinating history again. I am slightly puzzled that 5305 appears to be going backwards here?? Steve.

We can admire the efficiency of modern motors, etc. but none of them can beat the pure entertainment value of a working steam engine. This is a classic portrait of a classic engine at the height of a period.
