with me my year of birth is 1937 exactly the same numbers as you ,but I'm way older  

So Mick, is it true the first motocycles had a bellows to keep the fire going?  Those steam engines can be so demanding.  Congrats on another year.

My grandfather was a coal locomotive operator for a while during WW2.
