点评:Did the full day with my young sons as a surprise ,and what a day!!!
They were kept busy from minute one , helping to prepare the engine by de-sooting the tubes with long brushes , fire starting , shovelling coal and the noise and sensations of her steaming up. It was completely a really nice in depth and very enjoyable learning/ fun with real a world hands on approach. When this stunning machine is brought into life literally at the smack of the button!!!....wow..for anyone who loves the old engineering aspect of which is sublime , to someone who has never seen or had any interest we can tell you its the attachment to something so old but beautiful at the same time this thing springs to life with sensations that cars , motorcycles or anything else combustion engine powered cannot , this is so different in its own so different way. Then to drive it feel the "beast alive" the massive engineering , rattles and clangs huge parts sliding and moving with visual power , cogs and flywheels spinning , the sense of the smoke and steam blowing overhead honestly addictive. You have a front seat show to all this happening right there before you . Then Dinner, beautifully prepared and cooked on the shovel in the fire box served in the trailer just another old timer experience lost in time but so needed and enjoyed. Onto the road , stopping briefly to go hands on , drawing water from the stream again all old timer things we have forgotten , then down the road for longer safely at a very nice pace down the picturesque lane , it's on a rolling "thunder" of sensations while taking in the amazing views , stopping to pull the whistle and hear the echo. My sons are both in the coal bunker smiling , grinning and laughing. We go back to another cup of tea biscuits and in awe. I can honestly say young or old , with a fondness for old engineering , old times , or history or none and a newbie to the great steam era.....Do it while you can...no seriously i will always have brilliant memories of Daddy and his Sons just doing something so different so needed , these beauties of bygone will not be available for ever, and it is because of the enthusiasm which Still pours from Chris , shown in how he delivers knowledge in a fun but safe way .
This experience "rocks" and rolls , whistles , smokes and steams take yourself back in time , and thoroughly enjoy.
Thank you from Tim & Sons
翻译:和年幼的儿子们一起度过了一整天的惊喜,真是美好的一天!!!
他们从第一分钟开始就忙个不停,用长刷子清除管道上的烟灰,生火,铲煤,听着蒸汽机冒烟的声音和感觉,帮助准备发动机。这是一次非常深入和非常愉快的学习/乐趣,采用真实的动手方式。当这台令人惊叹的机器在按下按钮时真正进入了生命状态时!!!哇……对于任何喜欢古老工程的人来说,这是一种崇高的体验,对于从未见过或没有任何兴趣的人来说,我们可以告诉你,这是对如此古老但美丽的东西的依恋,同时,这件东西以汽车、摩托车或任何其他内燃机驱动的东西无法带来的感觉进入了生命,这是如此不同,如此不同。然后驾驶它,感受“活着的野兽”,巨大的工程,巨大的部件在视觉上滑动和移动,发出嘎嘎声和叮当声,齿轮和飞轮旋转,烟雾和蒸汽在头顶上飘扬的感觉真的让人上瘾。你坐在前排,亲眼目睹眼前发生的一切。然后晚餐,精心准备,用铲子在火箱里烹制,放在拖车里,这只是另一个在时间中消失但非常需要和享受的旧时光体验。上路,短暂停留,亲手操作,再次从溪流中取水,这些都是我们已经忘记的旧时光,然后沿着风景如画的小路以非常合适的速度安全地行驶更长时间,在欣赏美景的同时,感受着滚动的“雷声”,停下来吹口哨,听回声。我的儿子们都在煤仓里微笑、咧嘴大笑。我们回去喝另一杯茶饼干,敬畏不已。我可以诚实地说,无论年轻还是年老,喜欢旧工程、旧时代、历史还是什么,只要你对伟大的蒸汽时代一无所知......就趁你还能做的时候去做吧......说真的,我会永远记得爸爸和他的儿子们做一些如此不同、如此需要的事情,这些逝去的美好不会永远存在,这是因为克里斯仍然充满热情,他以一种有趣但安全的方式传递知识。
这种体验“摇滚”和滚动,口哨声、烟雾和蒸汽让你回到过去,彻底享受。
感谢蒂姆和儿子们
