I never met the man, but from what little I've read of him, he seems the type to be more impressed by that! I love that Lady McAlpine seems to be having an absolute blast on the old engine too. I hope one day I can do something similar for the one surviving steam engine of my favorite (American) railroad: My grandfather loved trains and that same company, and got me interested in trains through it, in many ways. My fervent dream is one day I can climb aboard her cab with his picture in my vest pocket, just to say, "We did it."

Miss Katy never had the biggest steamers (hell, her biggest steam loco was a 2-8-2) or the flashiest trains, but damn was she the best. The engine actually has the distinction of being the only locomotive to have arrived at its museum under its own steam. she was backdated and used as a touring prop to celebrate the railroads history in the 50s, that's why she survived. the Katy Railroad Historical Society (of which I am a member) is slowly cosmetically restoring her to her 30s-50s configuration.

I'm looking forward to it!

I love this film, so much love for a little loco and the enthusiasm is infectious! Any chance I could life a few of the sounds of the loco at work to put with a model railway video I am planning please?

Congratulations Lawrie! A fitting name.
