Thanks Abu and Leanne- it might not be art, but it was fun to do and in researching it I found out loads of obscure things. 
There are little bits of line all over the place , enthusiasts restore the line and the engines, but it is expensive and fraught with red tape these days. Just been to Pickering War Weekend where the North Yorks Moors Ralway runs on a stunningly gorgeous trip from Pickering to Whitby now (the line has recently been extended to Whitby)- along this line is Goathland where tey film Heartbeat etc and also is the staton used in the Harry Potter films. This weekend it was all turned over to recreate the 1940s.
I don't remember steam the first time around, but it has a unique magic that goes beyond nostalgia. Something about journeys and all they mean I suppose.
