Summary

NoS synopsis: Three users of coal - a children’s train
NCB Commentary - Tickets, please! Tickets for what?
And what, do you suppose, Ann and Karen are crying about?
And what’s dad doing with that box?
Oh, come on, stop messing about - stoke ‘er up - fill ‘er up and let’s get cracking - we went a ride.
Southampton electronic engineer John Barras takes his model railway to fetes and galas in aid of good causes.
A good head of steam - the throttle is opened and the heaving monster lunges forward.
Once up the track at a business-like clip - and then back again - and all on a single ticket.
Dad promised me a joy ride and I dearly hope this is it ... s s s s s -uper!
