Hi Tim nice to see the beautifully restored machines. I am especially chuffed to see the traction engine Olive. There is one hereabouts and it turns up in the local outdoor shows. Ah the Cook Strait ferry that bought back a few memories. Once the sea was so rough we were surfing up and down the waves. You could understand where the expression shivering timbers came from. Me I was outside in the wind hanging on for dear life and enjoying every moment. We are going from lockdown to lockdown over here in the kangaroo country.

Hello John, I hope you are keeping well, over here we are throwing caution to the wind and relying on the Covid vaccine doing its job, for now things are working out, allowing us to attend events such as this one, it was great to get back to near normality. We have been told that limited restrictions are likely to be re-introduced over the winter period to reduce pressure on the National Health Service. Covid isn't going away, so we are finding ways to live with it, it's going to be interesting to see how Australia and New Zealand adapt to living with Covid, Isolation is working, but it can't really go on forever. It's always nice to see other exhibits from the past such as the tractors and traction engines present at events like this. Hopefully I'll be attending a 50's weekend at the Mid Hants Railway at the end of this month with 50's cars and buses on display, along with people raiding their wardrobes for tank tops and baggy trousers to dress in keeping with the period. I've crossed the Cooks Straight 5 times and every time the sea has been as calm as a mill pond, although I've seen YT videos showing crossing in atrocious weather, one shows damage caused to almost every camper van on board. I have crossed the English Channel in aweful weather, one crossing that sticks in my mind was one of the last car carrying Hovercraft sailings that took 2 hours instead of 30 minutes, unlike a boat there is no real view of the sea and the passenger compartments are either side of the craft which really exaggerates the swell, I felt sorry for the stewardesses who spent the whole trip giving out and retrieving sick bags. On the other hand the hydrofoil from Newhaven to Dieppe is really exciting when the sea is rough, the opening of the Channel Tunnel has really changed the way we travel to Continental Europe. I haven't made the crossing by sea for over 15 years. Laser model kits have added a new dimension to model-making, it's good to keep busy. Take care. Tim.

Isolation has had a dramatic effect on cases of the flu over here, it has almost been wiped out. A lot of retail outlets still ask customers to wear masks, resulting in about a 50:50 split between those wearing and not wearing masks. The Premier League football season has kicked off now with virtually no Covid restrictions, although the big cities are suffering more cases than us plebs out in the sticks, hopefully the vaccine and subsequent booster jabs will keep us safe.

Hi, I really enjoyed reading your account of your working life with Indian Railways, you have witnessed the changes in traction from steam to diesel and electric, along with improved workshop facilities. The railways play a massive part in the lives of employees, the same is also true here in the UK where my daughter is a signaler at Exmouth Junction, she regards working for the railway as like being a part of an extended family of people who support and look out for each other. I hope you have a long and happy retirement. Take care. Tim.

Throughout Europe and much of the world locomotives were fitted with dynamos capable of running electric lights as seen on the front and back of many locomotives. In the UK early steam engines were built before electric lighting was common place, instead they used oil lights at night and white discs in the day or a combination of both. These discs/lights also indicated whether the train was an express passenger train, a local passenger train or a freight train. The system was never modernized hence why electric lights never replaced oil lamps on British steam locomotives.

@@neilforbes416 I know what you mean about getting new content, I haven't been able to travel overseas on a rail-tour holiday now for over 18 months, instead I've been uploading my recent tours of New Zealand, they are travel videos rather than rail videos, as a result my viewing figures and earnings have plummeted. With the easing of lock-down restrictions, heritage railways in the UK have started to operate again giving limited access to rail based content. I have two trips booked, one staying in hotels in Devon (England) the other, a rail tour to Germany, although Covid could still cause that to be cancelled. TV in the UK isn't good, adverts are mostly political, people who are not aware of the make up of Britain's population should be forgiven for believing that more than half of of the population is black and that most couples are multiracial, because that is how Britain's population is portrayed in TV ads, the rest of the adverts are for charities guilt tripping you into giving every spare penny you have to some charity that pays its own staff eye-wateringly high salaries, one of the worst being Save the Children. My chosen charity is "The Salvation Army" because they do a good job looking after people who have fallen on hard times, its worth remembering that most of the population is only 10 wage packets away from being in financial difficulty. The Sally Army put my donation to good use at the coalface, not paying some middle class do-gooder an inflated, undeserved wage. The rest of TV is repeats and reality tripe. I am forced by law to pay for the BBC although I never watch it, I chose to watch Netflix and KZread simply because they show what I enjoy watching. As for PayPal, I use it all the time because it makes online shopping safe, they have refunded me my money on a number of occasions when things have gone wrong, on one occasion I bought a drone from the USA costing over £1000, it failed after one month, the supplier didn't want to know, I contacted PayPal who refunded me in total. Ad blocker isn't really fair on KZread creators who rely on KZread earnings to make a living, I don't make my living on KZread, but it does make a useful contribution to my travelling. It seems fair to me that KZread gives you a choice, either pay a reasonable charge to watch Ad free or watch free with Ads, although I agree Ads should be limited so as not to spoil the viewing experience.
