As someone who grew up with these locomotives & saw,photographed & rode in trains hauled by them all over the country in my youth,it is refeshing to see someone young so enthusiastic about them. In my opinion they were man’s greatest invention,using the basics of nature,earth,fire,water & air.

Hi, again, faraway Matilda--It's not "Thank you for watching," -- and being splashed by your enthusiasm and enjoyment...it's really us saying, "Thank you for going to the trouble of making this video for us on the other side of the world."

All the best and thanks for the video. I'll watch some more...
