Yes very clever. I really didn't get the connection until that last wipe.

I can remember seeing Gracie singing that song on tele at the Royal Command Variety Show at the London Palladium.

DUH!!! Oh God my terrible memory for names.

The Royal Variety memory is true but the name is a ghastly blunder.

Errata: "I can remember seeing Vera singing that song on tele at the Royal Command Variety Show at the London Palladium."

Growing old is not always fun. Take my advice ... don't do it.

Yes .... shame about the alternative. Guess I'll just have to make the best of it

David, the first error was that trying to board a train on the platform nearest to you would be impossible without a little bridge from the platform to the train (left-hand side in the image): the track nearest to you is way in the middle; therefore, by enlarging the platform (left-hand corner) I overcame that problem.

Didn't catch that at all. I just assumed there was a third track out of the bottom of shot and hidden by the platform. But probably not enough room for that and anyway three tracks is illogical.

2nd problem/error is that the rail-tracks at stations with steam are dirty and oily, but the tracks I used along with the train came from the countryside: nice and clean.

That is very subtle .......
