Cheers Mike, I have set a reminder.

Just need to find where on earth Radio 4 might be on the ol' transistor box!

Ed,

It's the new name for the Home Service

AWEM

Or channel 0104 on Sky, for those of us who have no-one to upset by commandeering the TV (yes they have had to go to trunk dialling after all the 3 figure codes got used up by the TV channels).

I wonder why they call it TRUNK dialling, something to do with elephants, or maybe trees ?

Try anywhere between 92-95 on FM or 198 on LW. At home in the workshop and in the car 93.5 seems to work well for me. Or you could listen live via the internet

Mike,

Good program, and wouldn't have know it was on without your prompting - big thanks!

As an amazing conicidence, I was rooting around on the Internet this afternoon trying to figure out valve gear for a steam engine I am planning and discovered lots of mention of the 5AT - I had never heard of it before. I kept thinking it was a BR loco, now I know.

The program sounded like it should have had pictures, maybe it was made for TV.

Might be an idea to let the Beeb know we want more of same !

I guess 14% efficiency is not so bad if you are burning waste vegetation, at least it is carbon neutral. Anyone got any good links on the topic ?

Missed it (just got back from work). Hopefully it'll be on the "listen again" bit of the interweb site.

Steve,

A truly excellent program. More, please, BBC. If you want to know more about the 5AT, look at

Look also at the website of the brand new Peppercorn A1 LNER Pacific being built at the moment at Darlington -
