You know that line about steam trains "being alive".....it's true!
When my boys were wee, we used to go and visit them at Bo'Ness. I hadn't been back for about fourteen years and the whole experience is much better. We used to take the train to the old lead mine and explore it.
The station is like a time warp and all the enthusiasts dress in uniforms from the 40's & 50's. Also on show is a class 27 diesel locomotive, even it had it's own charisma and I think there were loads of them around way into the 80's.
Even if you think you don't like steam trains, visit this place before you make your mind up. You'll be converted.
