Today we had a visit from Settle Beavers - boys and girls between 6 and 8 who are would-be cubs etc. The visit had been arranged long ago and was another joint-operation between us, Settle station and Settle signal box. They were split into three groups, changing between locations every 20 minutes.
Delightful occasion but, dear me, hard work!
Absolute full marks and respect to scouting volunteers who do this incredible and demanding work. They take on an enormous responsibility and risks.
I tried to explain how steam trains needed coal and water and probably failed. By far the star of the show was the coal truck.
