Indeed.

They were wonderful tank engines, and as stated on the previous page were originally going to be the basis of Thomas.

Did you like the pun I played with the title?

9426523
Yeah. Isn't there a new one being biult?

9426526
There is. But at last check they've only £950 of the £2,000 they'll need. And they've been raising funds for the last 7 years.

9426535
Ok but now their are a lot of new builds being done?

I gave this a read because of the Spitfire tag, but... I don't think she was actually in it anywhere?

Supreme Commander 2, though :twilightoops:

9426540
If anything, too many.

9426547
Ah, sorry about that.

Did you enjoy the story though?

9426601 Uh, it's not really my thing, I read it mostly for Spitfire. But she wasn't in it, yet remains tagged...?

9426831
I've been busy today, but I'll remove the tag now.

Or should I say firewoman.

Heh, if women can ever work on the Railroad full time, that should be the term for them and to tell them apart from Firemen. =)

Good short story =3

We use the term 'stoker' in Britain.

9429184
Thanks. The sequel lands today.

9432184
And, for bonus points, try and spot the references.

9432273
I know you'll spot them.

9432313
I hid a LOT in there.

9432317
But alas! The iron road calls, and I must away.

9432321
Okie =)

I just read the story btw ^^

9432368
See my comment on the credits chapter :3

9432401
Say, do you know the J50s?

9432411
Hmm..... I might have looked up on them from time to time :)

9432419
My dad remembers them rumbling around Bradford and the Keighley area.

9432438
They were especiually associated with the Queensbury route.

9432463
But they are all gone.

9432477
A new one is being built, but the project has not got very far.

9432500
It has raised £950 in 3 years.

9432517
Nowhere near the amount it needs (£2,000).

9432811
On the scale of it, they have raised £26.38 per month. At the current rate of funding, it will take them a further 75 years to raise the money they need.

9432837
And that is a very long time, probably longer than I shall live.

9432843
But plenty of newbuilds should have come on stream by then, such as 5550.
