Steam trains are a bit off topic I know, but very evocative of the era. Although I'm firmly a "boat b*gg*r" the black locomotive was a magnificent sight as it emerged out of mountainous clouds of steam. Its performance was less impressive, at one stage the train appeared to be being hauled backwards up the hill by a diesel engine..
