Fill Those Bins

Been to York today for a meeting about the product that can't be named. We were in yard near the Railway Museum. As we were talking a little train was trundling up and down the sidings with a bunch of people crammed aboard taking in the joys of being pulled along by steam. I've been on steam trains before, and once the novelty of sound it makes when you get going has worn off it feels just like any other train really. However, watching them arrive in the station is really nice (and you can do that for nothing at Pickering Station).

The Railway Museum in York is worth a look if you like trains, but probably a rather horrid kind of hell if you don't. But it is free to get in. They have one engine you can walk underneath and look at all the moving bits. It is a area of technology (getting the most movement out of burning coal) that has completely vanished nowadays. Sort of like computing will be in around, oh, sixty years or so...

Isn't it funny what you fall over whilst using Google. I was trying to find a site for the Pickering Railway (no joy I'm afraid) but instead I fell over a site for Yorkshire Waste Management. They have a special offer on home composting as I write this. Enjoy.
