    Brought back such memories when I was a little girl and mother used to sing it along with the radio 'housewifes choice' whilst she was doing housework, funny how it brought a tear to my eye, it was so long ago in simple times.

    Notice the lack of the characteristic chuffing sound we've all associate with a steam locomotive.

    The same people that hate EV's today and claim it won't work would have hated the Trevithick back in it's day. Some people can't accept new technology

    Yes and no. First off, EVs - AND wind turbines, AND solar panels, et al - are all unproven and subsidized heavily by government power for some interesting reason. Unlike these things. They're paying for them to work, but there is very little proven without pushing from those in legal power. IMO, we've turned upside down, from eternal pessimists - nothing will work - to eternal optimists - EVERYTHING works! Given the huge propaganda inertia for anything that "saves the Earth" (i.e., The Environment(TM) religion) world-wide at least in First-World European type countries, clearly too many automatically believe anything will work and work well (key). Those who "hate" EVs obviously do not rule the day, because all these things are being pushed constantly publicly, subsidized, and presumed as if they just are a matter of course and taken for granted (watch TV sometime - all the commercials, show, etc, presume it's just part of life now).

    Ah, the Catch-Me-Who-Can. At least if I'm remembering my books right. For those who have read Sir Pterry's _Raising Steam_ (as I have), I'm pretty sure Iron Girder's original form is basically meant to be this engine (well, the one it's a replica of).

    "Catchmewhocan" was build my in 1808 for a steam circus of his idea if i remember, this one is Coalbrookdale by Richard trevick, he build Puffing Devil in 1801, but it was a more of a steam wagon then a locomotive.
