What happened to the good old steam engines ? Don't they study it now?
Our old home was just by the side of railway station (and it had a locomotive workshop there), it was fun to know the theory and see it physically.
That time it was all steam, diesels rarely visible over here and electric was introduced much later - at least in our section.
