>The GWR, >God's Wonderful Railway! >(or the Great Western Region) Well.....when they have taken the G.W.R. loco off, and decided to replace it with a B.R. Standard or L.M.S. design, you often find that the new crew can't get the brakes off the train (it's happened to me at a major steam event). Then you have to lie prone on the platform pulling the drawstring of the bloody ball release valve (two per bloody carriage). And then you have a few choice words to say about God's bloody wonderful railway....like why they have to use twenty four bloody inches of vacuum...... A little tongue in cheek, but many a true word......
