Steam train

well, this one is diesel...

but this one is a steam train.

 Shackerstone station

train buffs delight



Malcolm inspects the train...

... then we have a toasted teacake in the station café.

These trains were running on the Battlefield Line - a stretch of railway run by the Shackerton Railway Society, which has renovated the trains and stations back to their Victorian era heyday.  We checked it out after visiting Boswell today.
