In summer 2011 I was on a steam train near Taunton and it stopped on an uphill climb between stations. I asked the guard what the delay was and he told me that the engine was dangerously low on water and that the fireman had asked him to phone the fire brigade to fetch some firemen.
So the firemen helped the fireman by bringing water so old Gold and his big brother got home that evening.
When the train got to the station the fireman took the engine away and dropped the fire. But it wasn't winter when it got dropped it was summer. Go figure? The other firemen took their engine back to the station too.
True story that. Honest.
