I see no ships

Despite the scrambled egg on his hat this guy isn't an admiral of the fleet; he's the station master at Tenterden. I was back again to collect Calum and learn of the difficult day. They had started out with a steam engine, 6619, but it was having problems. It ran out of steam a couple of times and finally couldn't make it up the bank into Tenterden Town. It suffered the ignominy of being towed into the station by a diesel shunter and then the diesel took over pulling the train for the day. My train expert tells me that 6619 has a problem with its firebox and they also have a batch of duff coal. On the upside the diesel is much smoother and pulls away far more gently making serving drinks from the buffet an easier task.

Work tomorrow - I bet you can't wait?
