Imagine the scene. It's a summer afternoon, the air is heavy with the scent of flowers, the busy hum of bees and birds twittering in the hedges. In the distance can be heard a train, slowly approaching your position. Soon the tell tale waft of steam above the greenery announces the arrival of the afternoon goods steadily chuffing towards you. There is the distinct aroma of hot oil and steam as it trundles past, the wagons clacking and swaying obediently behind a small tank engine. Soon it is gone and all is peaceful again. You lay back on the cool grass, sip on a cold beer and think about whether to mow the lawn or wait for the train to pass again. We recommend the latter!
