Very good picture Philip. It really is a palace of steam isn't it? It's difficult to appeciate it properly at STIA because of all the other stuff that's there.

Thanks Steve, it is a challenge to take photos there as it is so dark even in the daytime and like you say you don't get much time to appreciate the station fully during busy events such as STIA.

What makes me sad is that I could spend all day in a place like this, but my family would be bored and complaining as we walked in through the door.

Don't take the family! You go do the things that they want most of the time right? So claim a little time for yourself once in a while! Let them go do whatever interest them without you occasionally.

Philip, that place is just incredibly beautiful. The artistry that went hand and hand with Industrial Engineering back then was simply magnificent!

I had a good time at APS this morning and i got to play with some full size engines which made a nice change.

Here is me at the controls of No2 engine:

Wow, that looks like a fascinating place. You got to play with steam engines both huge and small. Lucky you.

Well, Sir Philip, I envy your priviledge of working these living breathing moving engines
