    I fondly remember Donald Beale's story 34040 'CREWKERNE', while descending the Mendips on the Up 'Pines', and of her fire. The Firemen who attended managed to spray foam at a stone wall, instead of at the loco (the offending fire of which had been put out by the footplate crew). Donald shouted across to the Firemen "It's the engine that's supposed to be on fire, not the wall!"

    Well then, it loooks like the Bluebell had better replace 34059 for a Merchant Navy to try and persuade @Jamessquared Tom that firing Bulleids can be fun!
