[Leica] RicC PAW-2016-13

[Douglas Barry]

I must say the 611 shot is a lovely one of an interesting looking engine, 
Ric. Despite living in a former colony, I'm familiar with the likes of the 
Mallard streamliner as I had a Hornby model railway set when I was young. 
Your train looks higher than it. Maybe it was just thinner. I presume it was 
an elite passenger engine?

Mind you, my favourite train is the TGV. I took my first trip on it back in 
1989 from Paris to Valence, and it clipped along at over 175 mph 
effortlessly. I was hooked. In a car, the max I've done is about 150 mph. 
I'd love to try one of those maglev things.

Douglas
