About This Item

The f-5 Steamy Express

This steam train "geocoin" belongs to Dick from the famous-5.  Dick likes trains very much, especially the steamy variety.  There are plenty of old steam railways still in operation in England, and the f-5 gang often visit them.  The Bluebell Railway is our local favourite, as there are several large steam trains running regularly, as well as special events like visits from Thomas The Tank Engine and the Christmas special.  The f-5 recommend you pay a visit if ever you are passing through Sussex, in South East England - see the following web link for details - http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/.

He has chuffed loads of miles and been taken to so many excellent railway stations around Europe. He feels very lucky and happy. After 4 years we retrieved him and helped him get over 10,000 miles. Thank you so much to all you Geocachers for giving him such a great time. He is now chuffing off again for a new adventure. He quite fancies seeing what trains are like in other continents. He'd love to see a Japanese bullet train...
