Don't take any shit off the non-believers.

I spent many a happy hour in my teens in a farmers field at Hartford (near Northwich) where the main West Coast line crossed under the line to Chester.

That was in late 50's early 60's and there were steam locomotives on both lines, my favourite engines were the Coronation Class, absolutely beautiful to look at.

Had the pleasure a few years back of going on a steam trip from Wilmslow to Scarborough that was hauled by the Duchess of Sutherland - what a thrill.

Still got my Ian Allen loco-spotters club badge.

That field is at the back of my house

£18,000? Wonder what his loco motive was for buying it?

Must be a silly old buffer.
