    Just heard, what sounded like a steam train whistle in Preston. Unable to see the West Coast Main Line from where I am but anybody have any ideas? Sounded like a whistle belonging to a BR Standard.

    Steam lorry, traction engine or roller? Used to hear Fred Dibnah out on an evening with his Aveling from where we lived at Bromley Cross.
