John
Toulson was able to understand steam from an early age.
After a childhood growing up next to the railway at
Sedgefield John has vast knowledge and experience of steam.
Next
door to John was a saw mill and in a field close to his house
was an old steam engine that he used to play on a child.
That engine stayed in John's memory and after giving up
stock car racing after 16 years John decided to return to his
first love.
