Slice and dice. 'How long would you want your hose, sir?  About track width would be good.'   :rofl

A steam train? now who pulling who's leg.

Biggles, as we know, is a learned man and can see the logic of it all  :whistle  and as for the "head of steam" I did take a certain amount of leeway here, I admit...  :grin
