Bagsy not driving.


That's okay, Tino, I'll drive it. I've always wanted to drive a train :lol:

It's a really great idea :thumbup:

I wonder how much a train costs :?:

That's great. Well done for finding a train. They (the East Somerset Railway) do courses on how to drive it as well, so I can get some practice in before we head off for the Alps :D

We just need to find someone to fix the boiler on it now, and £30,000 and some carriages :lol:

If you want the heating fixed I'm your man. :P

Thanks very much Brooksy :D

It's actually the boiler for the steam engine, but I guess it works on the same principles, so I'm sure you'd be able to fix it.

In fact, it would be great if you came as well, in case we had any breakdowns on the way :lol:

Honestly Dave Mac! Just read pages one and two then, to catch up :D

We're going to buy a steam train on eBay so that we can have our own train out to the Alps and those that want to can party all night, because they've stopped running the sleeper/all night party Snow Train from London.

I'm going to be the Driver, Brooksy is going to be the Stoker and Tino's going to party all night :lol:

Do you want to come as well?
