Yes, that was indeed well worth it, and I fully agree with the supposition that shoveling a tonne of coal into the firebox every hour or so would be something like work. That is, unless a tonne of coal doesn't weight nearly as much as a ton of coal, of course, and even then, I suppose it could still be considered something like work.
Yes, 21 minutes. But well worth it. I love steam.

ReplyDeleteFish, He didn't say tonne he said ton, were you not listening?
Max, Pah! Chickenfeed!
