I nearly bought a steam engine 'in need of completion'. The wife and common sense prevailed. I had to 'agree' that I have quite enough mechanical playthings already - and they all work at this moment in time. I had a dirty day changing the filters on the Yanmar tractor whose diesel fuel filter certainly needed renewal. Just look at that crud in the bottom of the filter bowl. Could well be that the filter had never been changed - ever.
After that excitement here is a glimpse of the glorious image on the bedroom CCTV large monitor this morning. The real picture is in splendid HD but you get the idea - DSettle station bathed in sunshine and some serious weather moving in from Lancashire:

And here she is a minute of two later at Helwith Bridge, taken by a better photographer than me!
Even Eddie Stobart put on a show for us, delivering a road/rail machine at Settle:
Two more steam trains today to amuse the family, here for half-term. This may be tedious for half the population but it's the sort of thing that keeps little boys happy. And big ones too.
