Gosh, this story has been lying in my library for quite a while, I don't even want to think how many times I started reading it and then put it away for later. But hey, I finally made it through, yay!

It was a rather fast-paced read and I think that some of the scenes may have benefited from being a little longer and more detailed, but what you have here is sufficient. Also noticed some typos, missing punctuation and the like, but these were still rather scarce. So, all in all, a nice read that I should have finished sooner

PS: I probably deserve this for reading your series from the middle, but I have to wonder, why is everyone in this universe obsessed with trains? Also, how old are the Crusaders that they are allowed to operate a train by themselves?

It's probably a side effect of my own interest.

On my local preserved line, folks can start footplate training as young as 12.

Well, nothing wrong with that

And oh, I didn't know such a thing was possible. I presume you yourself have that kind of training?

I tend to base my writing on what I'm interested at the moment. It's why it goes through so many different genres.

I have operated locos under supervision, but that's about it really.

Well, at least you have interests that you can write whole stories about while knowing that a rather large audience will still understand. I don't think that everyone is that lucky.

Dainn was confused by the rail focus of my Anon-a-Miss story.

In the classic BBC comedy Keeping Up Appearances, the main character Hyacinth Bucket kept insisting that her surname was pronounced "bouquet" to give an impression of being of a high social standing.

Oh. I'm actually making a reference to the fact that geberations of schoolchildren have referred to Dr Gauchet (a friend of Van Goch) as Gadget.
