I went to a wedding this weekend and found this steam traction engine. It's ace. I want it. You can go on an experience day and drive the bastard if you want. She's called 'Western Star' and is 99 years old.

Apologies, some of the pictures are a bit noisy, I cranked the ISO due to fading light. Plus I'd been drinking.

Here she is, complete with living trailer.

Muncaster Castle has an owl sanctuary. Owls are boss.
