Rail lines worked hand in hand with steam ships to move people for decades, until growing sizes of planes made trans-oceanic flight more practical. This is a model of the RMS Empress Of Britain II, linked with the Canadian Pacific company.
The locomotives in here are quite a sight to see.
And you can even get inside, where the engineer and fireman worked.
There is a platform between the cabins of two neighbouring locomotives.
I really like the model of the RMS Empress of Britain II.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved ships and trains and continue to be fascinated with them.
I enjoy seeing and hearing a steam engine at work.
