How about some dainty soot n cinders

Puffing Billy NA class 2-6-2T 14A steams out of Menzies Creek station heading east after crossing the westbound train heading back to Belgrave (Melbourne, Victoria state Australia).

These two foot six inch gauge midget Baldwin ancestry puffer billies stomp through the scenic Dandenong range to the east of Melbourne city every day of the year excepting Christmas day.

What better for the kids, sitting hanging the legs and arms out the small wooden carriages, waving to all the tourists and locals along the line.
