Been quite a nice day. Went to watch the grass track racing - boy, was it dusty! Shocked

While there, saw some "diesel p0rn" going past on the Watercress line, for those who like such things. ("Diesel Gala" this weekend).

Popped in to see the in-laws then back to chuck a lamb joint in the kettle barbecue. Quick whip round with the lawn mower while it was cooking then sat eating it out in the garden in shorts and a tea shirt. Only just come in.

Oh, gave the LPG system a tweak and fitted some exhaust trims to my Eternal system at last.

Not to bad.

We were in the radiator cabin so had a shed load of coolant above our heads and with the engine room doors and cab doors open the breeze was ok.

The team operating the steam loco were suffering badly though!
