Train cuts cake
Train cuts cake
It being Nathan's birthday (I thought he has been looking older recently) a cake was ceremoniously cut.

I hope Nathan licked the railhead clean, after the cake was removed to be served . . . . ?\

Re: Train cuts cake
Here we're interpreting words such as "cuts" and "slicing" in the broadest possible sense. "Squashes" is the word that comes to mind most readily.
Is there any truth in the rumour that the loco slipped all the way back to Capital Park due to cream on the wheels?

Infact John, the very tacky and sticky cream helped adheasion to get back to the Park! No slipping and sliding happened!

Re: Train cuts cake
Hmm, maybe there's a new design feature that we could patent here? Instead of sand boxes, we could have cake boxes on the loco to aid adhesion!
Re: Train cuts cake
I believe they cakes for adhesion already in the UK
Hence the expressions - "The rails were all iced up" !
and
"Crumbs".
