Great picture – great train. Somehow steam is organic/alive – you can relate to it so much better than to electricity or diesel. Or is that just my reaction? If we move sideways into the realm of shipping, is sail more “organic” than steam? Des.
Ultimately, I guess, it’s a question of how well ‘it’ performs the function ‘it’ was designed for….. In the case of steam trains, would you like the job of stoking the firebox all the way from London to York… or would you rather throw a switch……? 😉
You are right – the more “romantic”, the less user-friendly. Candles are so much more aesthetic than a light bulb – until you want to read the fine print.
