    on 25/03/2008 State Railway of Thailand prepped its steam locos for the excursion on 26/03/08 at Thonburi Locomotive Depot

    The steam crews prepped a battery bank for the headlight

    And she put some make-up on.

    ------

    26/03/08 SRT celebrated its 111st birthday by running an excursion train to Ayuttaya and back. For 120 THB (approximately 3.5 US$) one can reasonbly get a dose of steam double-header fun; now back on track with Train 901...

    Our ladies wants to have some fun...

    the steam team fed her some more water

    The railfans are about to bid us a farewell

    [​IMG]

    Guys, HIGHBALL IT

    [​IMG]

    The other reason I enjoyed Train 901/902 so much is the how RRers and general public react to the presence of our ladies. It's priceless and you have to be there to feel it.
