Pemberton, Western Australia

1213 - the epitome of modern (mid-1950's) British Steam

Ian (restorer/owner/engineer) provides the outdoor instruction

and indoor class

the engineer's view of things

nothing like blowing the whistle!

as does the wife/fireman

it's coal-fired (17 miles/ton of hand-shoveled coal when working hard)

some of the unsuspecting passengers

and a VIP

careful supervision at all times

a very satisfied neophyte engineer
