Very nice, thanks. I used to catch a steam driven train on the IoW to and from school when I was a kid.

Me too, on the ECML from Harringay to Wood Green. I wonder how many of us went to school by steam train!
Would often see the Flying Scotsman, sometimes pulled by Mallard IIRC.

I remember travelling on the 'Harwich Boat Train' (Hook Continental) in the 50's it was steam hauled with Pullman stock.
