Swingball Blues
01:32

When I play swingball I am sad
Because I am really bad
I don’t do it out of intellectual choice
When I play swingball I just can’t rejoice
I miss it again and again and again
I miss it again and again and again
I miss it again and again and again
When I play swingball I’m not good
Even though I know I said that I would be
Now it is plain that I am not
It’s the swingball blues that I have got
Now the third verse is the same as the first

Electrification
02:58

I look at the railway and the clouds of soot and steam
How on Earth could anyone love these dirty machines
And the gricers are all calling me to come and join their scene
But I won’t ride on trains until the power source is clean
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want
I want some electrification
I want some electrification
I want some electrification and I don’t want steam
Now my electric loco won’t travel on these lines
Now I can’t go to Brighton till they update the design
And they’re still making Lord Nelsons in a yard down at Eastleigh
But EMUs are the only way forward for me
Some talk of diesels and some they talk of steam
But electricity is sustainable and green
So electrify the railway – hook it up to the mains
I’m looking for retraining and I’m also looking for trains

Abergynolwyn
Is my favourite station
On the Talyllyn Railway
In the heart of Wales
Yes Abergynolwyn
Is a great location
Seven miles from Tywyn
On narrow gauge rails
Abergynolwyn
Is the station
Where the refreshment lady
Was left behind
In the story
By the Reverend Awdry
‘Four Little Engines’
From 1955
Abergynolwyn
Has an adventure playground
Near the car park
With a very big slide
And a woodland walk to
The station platform
Where you can catch a train and
And go for a ride
Abergynolwyn
Is just past Dolgoch
About five miles from
Cynfal Halt
Travel there with Douglas
Or Edward Thomas
Or maybe Dolgoch
Sir Haydn or Tom Rolt
At Abergynolwyn
Is the Quarryman’s Caban
Where they sell good coffee
And tea on toast
And when you’ve eaten
You can get the steam train
Back down to Tywyn
And the Cambrian Coast

Oh Zacharias

Oh Zacharias,
Your hair smells like peaches
We could take the Bentham line and visit Morecambe’s beaches
Oh Zacharias,
I think I’m starting to like you
Do you want to go to the railway centre at Crewe
Oh Zacharias,
My love is getting deeper
We could share a cabin on the Caledonian Sleeper
And once we get to Aberdeen
I can show you something you’ve never seen
‘Cause there’s more to life than trains you know,
There’s more to life than trains
There’s more to life than trains you know,
But not much more
Oh Zacharias,
You sparkle like the sea
Do you want to go to the Talyllyn with me
Oh Zacharias,
It is of you I’m thinking
Would you like to come to the Railway Centre at Dinting
Oh Zacharias,
Let’s stop this silly talk
And have a ride on the Harrogate line to the NRM at York
And when we are amongst the Atlantics
We’ll start to feel quite romantic
Oh Zacharias,
I love it when you smile
It reminds me of the beauty of the Settle to Carlisle
Oh Zacharias
This line isn’t yet finished
But once it is my love for you won’t have diminished
Oh Zacharias,
Of you I often dream
Though not as much as I dream of diesel and steam
But when I look into your eyes
I feel my boiler pressure rise

41241
02:46

Built in 1949
Worked on the Somerset & Dorset line
Made to Henry Ivatt’s design
It has really stood the test of time
It was built at the loco works in Crewe
Its wheel formation is 2-6-2
Its weight is just over 65 tons
And its number is 41241
41241
41241
41241, Ivatt 2MT
A working loco for BR
Lived in Bath then Leamington Spa
It steams at 200 PSI
Which, as boiler pressure goes, it’s really quite high
After being in service for 20 years
It was saved by preservation pioneers
It’s quite a long story but I’ll tell you briefly
Now it pulls trains from Haworth to Keighley
Bachmann made one in OO gauge
I’ve got two on my model railway
They’re not well made, they run quite slow
I would ask for a refund but they’re 20 years old, you know…
In 1968 in the month of June
Painted in non-BR maroon
It pulled its first Worth Valley train
41241’s its name
In 1980 they painted it black
It went out of service but it had to come back
Fully overhauled and ready for steam
In the middle of June of 2018
They held a weekend of celebration
To mark 50 years of preservation
Can you guess which loco pulled the train?
Yes, 41241 again

I could be in heaven if it wasn’t for you
No more boring Eastfield or the Lovely Brothers

You know it is

One day I bought a length of track
From Armley Mills museum
It went right to the back
Of my little garden
Soon it was all set up
Rails, sleepers and ballast
As I needed something on which to run
My diesel loco
Why did I have a diesel you may ask in surprise
Well it was because I wanted to win the prize
Of the
Inspirational transformation of an unwanted
Derelict industrial diesel locomotive
Into a key display exhibit
Soon the restoration
Started in my garage
But it came to a stop
When I discovered a blockage
The fuel pipes were all clogged up
It looked like tapioca
Why it was so I did not know
But it was a hindrance
Eventually it was unblocked but I had been delayed
Maybe now it was too late to get the accolade
For the
Once my doubts were overcome
I got on with the project
After cleaning out a lot of scum
Who wanted to take advantage
My Ruston was my pride and joy
I wanted recognition
So I put it in the running
For the competition
And after an intense battle
With a class 40 and some shoe polish
I finally won the award
As it was so well restored
I won the

Riotous Rolling Stock

Judge them stuff
Rolling stock comes in many shapes and sizes
Carriages, trucks all no one despises
Trucks are troublesome, vans are meddlesome
All are the same
They are...
Riotous rolling stock
Riotous rolling stock
Riotous rolling stock
Judge them how you like
Judge that creep
Trucks are the worst of all
Making a load that can hold back anything
They have caused accidents, even at Dent
They are definitely
Judge that boss
Guards vans are the boss of the train
It is trucks that they train
They carry the guard, it is the train that he guards
Even then they are certainly...
Judge that angel
Coaches are the best of the three
and there is no hint of hypocrisy
Coaches come in all different forms, including open and closed
They are possibly fitting into the category

Oh my god, it’s Cybill Shepherd
Oh my god, she’s here
Oh my god, it’s Cybill Shepherd
Ready to start her new career
She’s weeing in a urinal
Down there at the docks
People are starting to wonder
Why she was let out of the stocks
Her hair’s all neat and tidy
Now there’s no more dreadlocks
And though she passed her GCSEs
She didn’t pull through on her mocks
She’s strolling down the keyside
Giving all doors a few knocks
Critics don’t seem to like her new
Lovely flowery frock
She’s shouting at the top of her voice
‘IT IS THREE O’CLOCK’
When suddenly towards her head
There comes flying a huge rock
Oh my god, it’s Cybill Shepherd
Oh my god, she’s now gone
But in these new five minutes of fame
We were losing the battle
Now we’ve won

Fabulous Flying Scotsman

Everyone thinks they know the story
Of Britain’s greatest glory
But as he said himself
I’m no saint
Then along came marvellous Mallard
Everyone was gawking everyone was happy
But as Flying Scotsman said himself
He’s no saint
Fun and games on the East main line
1923 to 1939
Then British Railways came along
Mallard was fast Scotsman was strong
Everyone was happy everyone was wrong but then again
They’re no saints
EMUs are being introduced
Mallard on the best trains again
The rivalry reinstated but then
It’s no saint
Fun and games on the East main line
1948 to 1959
Beeching’s being here to stay
Then everyone cheers hooray
‘Cause Scotsman’s scrapped but then again
Who’s a saint
Mallard on the scrapper’s list
The east main line the Deltic’s line
But these class 55s are
No saints
No fun and games on the East main line
1963 to 1969
Then along come the old pros
The preserving preserving Scot and Mallard
So for the first time in history
They’re saints
