Probably not many visitors at this time of year.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Can't get upset over it right now, as I understand it all the steam engines are broken.  For the moment it's "Dieseltown".

EVERYTHING'S wrong with that!  It's "Steamtown", by gum!

Well OK, I can make exceptions for the occasional "Superman Diesel"  excursion but that's as far as I'll go.  Ha-rumph!
