Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above co-ordinates, they are New Mills South Junction, on the Manchester to Sheffield line.

First of all, great thanks to Bargee for letting me have this cache, seemed a shame to loose such a great puzzle so here is the re-release, don't be lulled into thinking it's the same, this has been slightly adjusted so new game on.

This year, 2011, it is the 43rd Anniversary of the end of Steam on British Railways, to commemorate this I have placed this lovely little puzzle cache.

Luckily, some steam locomotives have been preserved and can be seen running on the mainline or at heritage railways all over the country.

To find the cache, you will need to use your trainspotting skills and identify the KETTLES, sorry, I should say Steam Locomotives below. Some of you may find this easy, others may think this puzzle is a little sad, but give it a try and get out your anoraks.
