Puffing Billy and HFF

A "Puffing Billy" at Beamish open-air museum in County Durham. This is a replica of the original, the world's oldest surviving steam locomotive. And not just one but four fences for Happy Fence Friday.

A lot of fences but without doubt the star of the show is 'Puffing Billy'. A classic here. I thought at first this must be static but no, I now see the real passengers. Thanks for sharing.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
