Glory Be, this man lives in Heaven!! Steam Locomotives AND an Essex!

Closest we have ever come is living next to the railway line in our

previous location. Alas, now we live in a village 80 miles away from

the nearest railway. We have a small heritage museum with a 1/4 mile of

track, one derelict 2-6-4T steamer, and one working Hunslett diesel. Oh

well, at least I have my Hudson collection for consolation. Let's hear

about your Essex as it progresses Brian,

Geoff.
