Oui Oui! Mas Pierre in the future. He must share the secret of his special vintage.

Pierre asked me to post this for him:

"No you silly Englishman, you should learn French to enjoy the hearty sounds of French railway action in all its glory."

Actually, the MTH website says that there is/will be an English version of the announcements available for download on their website. Very nice video & steam engine "Pierre." Does this mean we can expect an Englishman to demonstrate any new British engines the magazine recieves? Haha.
