    About this ebook

    Another story of utter nonsense to entertain and delight young and old alike.

    The Seam of Coal is inspired by the Settle Carlisle, Leeds Morecambe and the Kirkby Stephen Stainmore railways.

    Lenny Locomotion is bored and so he invites all his friends to join him and Puffing Billy for a Coal Tasting Festival. Puffing Billy missed the last party and is now registered disabled so Lenny puts Puffing Billy on two railway wagons and hauls him to the festival. Each engine gets some coal from a colliery of their choosing and takes it to Kirkby Stephen where Puffing Billy decides who has brought the best coal to the Coal Tasting Festival.

    (Locomotion is on display in the Railway Museum, Darlington.)

      Over the years, my dad has talked to me a lot about his dream tractor: an Oliver. So it only made sense for him to get me hooked on Oliver too. In the fall of 2021, an auction was coming up with a rusty Oliver included. On that wonderful crisp fall a
