Loved the sooty things. We have a few faithfully restored steam engines here which manage the odd tourist trip now and then and getting a ticket to ride is damn near impossible. And guess what? I remember Chorlton cum Hardy!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-86767055826030048482009-11-24T01:15:37.366+00:002009-11-24T01:15:37.366+00:00Oh how novel.

That took a lot of quick work and open lying to people who watched you tearing it down. My father-in-law's farm home is on a main highway, and since he moved in with us, it was vacant for six years. The antique people ransacked it so many times carrying out as much as they could, even a broken clothes dryer. Anyway, they actually caught the guy and his crew the other day, as they were sloppy and hit a lot of places. We won't get anything back but it is nice to know they were stopped for awhile.L.
