I had the privilege to meet him too at a steam rally some years ago, although I never spoke to him I sat and listened to him along with a lot of others. He had charisma in abundance, loved the work he did and made what he liked, interesting to others. He brought to life the age of steam and Victorian England through his total love of it all and his enthusiasm is what made it interesting to others.
