Summary

Pathe synopsis: In Norfolk we meet Alan Bloom, who’s washing another brute - a twenty-one-ton steam engine. They’ve got a society in Norfolk consisting of people who collect these prehistoric mechanical monsters, over a hundred of which are in working order. We see vintage road locomotives chugging along as they did when they were built at the turn of the century.
