    Refuelling the driver

    SWMBO & I were in delightful Devon last week and took the opportunity to ride on the South Devon Railway (Buckfastleigh to Totnes & return).

    Although one can readily observe the engine taking fuel and water, I was privileged to see the equivalent operatation for the crew.

    Wot no enamel pot for a lid of tea and breakfast cooked on the shovel? Drivers these days don't know they're born!

    Nice shot though

    Cheers,

      Good to see you bettered yourselves and came to 'delightful Devon'. Great shot John, there are some great railway photo opportunities down at Buckfastleigh and along the line to Totnes and back.
      Must get down there again sometime.

            We certainly did - a very picturesque route and a great crew of helpful and friendly volunteers running it.
