Puffing Billy (the name of the train, not the driver)

Yesterday I posted a photo of 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. After I took that shot we went for a ride on the train. This is a photo of the driver.

A great shot of Puffing Billy again and a fine one of the driver too. Only his glasses are a bit too modern perhaps:) Well shared.

Best Wishes. Herb
