Tell Clodlet that when I was a boy of 12, I made the acquaintance of an old man (he was probably about 50!) who drove the Newcastle Express to Sydney every day.. I would go the whole way in the cab of the locomotive, a 38-class, and would often drive it. I wonder what the passengers would think if they knew their lives were in the hands of a 12 year-old boy?<br /><br />(By the way - his name was Mr Parmenter, and the verification word for this post is "parmasts".
