Steam Engines that follow the Seam of Coal

About the Book

“Another story of utter nonsense to entertain and delight young and old alike. The Seam of Coal is inspired by the Settle Carlisle, Leeds Morecambe and the Kirkby Stephen Stainmore railways. Lenny Locomotion is bored and so he invites all his friends to join him and Puffing Billy for a Coal Tasting Festival. Puffing Billy missed the last party and is now registered disabled so Lenny puts Puffing Billy on two railway wagons and hauls him to the festival. Each engine gets some coal from a colliery of their choosing and takes it to Kirkby Stephen where Puffing Billy decides who has brought the best coal to the Coal Tasting Festival. (Locomotion is on display in the Railway Museum, Darlington.)
