SRS, it's true I had the last pinwheel number. Now I'm sitting here patiently spinning on my axis, waiting for the next one, which I don't think is going to happen till we get to 18081. The 18s will be a veritable feast of pinwheel numbers!

If I can watch Rapaire's video from beginning to end, which I did, I'm sure I can wait till 18081.

Actually, it wasn't all that hard watching the video, cos I love steam trains. My uncle, Harold Young, used to be Chief Mechanical Engineer of the NSW Railways, and was responsible for the design of the C38 series steam trains - one of its number, the 3801 is probably the best known and loved of all the steam trains here in NSW. It still does regular runs for the entertainment of the public here

It's pretty slow on the hills, as steam trains are, but on the flat it compares very favourably with modern trains. Now here's something you don't see every day!
