Hi Philippe,

MG 0243 makes the North Yorkshire coast look sub-tropical too - it 
almost was on most days, except the full day I had on the railway. 

25-2: I get the impression that the enthusiasts who run it all have a 
staple diet of strong tea (they actually tap off the boiling water from 
the engine's boiler) and thick sandwiches.

Cheers
Douglas
